Gaita includes Master Otto and Mistress Caitlin of Drachenwald -- two exceptional musicians (and pretty nice folks for that matter). Their Gresley/Arbeau CD was the first, I believe, to introduce Gresley. I, personally, question some of the decisions that they made on Arbeau choreographies. Isabeau and I also had the privilege to dance and lead some dance with Master Otto and Mistress Caitlin at a Drachenwald Coronation and we learned that some of their redactions substantially differ from the choreography we dance here on 15th c Italian. Nevertheless, I expect this to be a great addition to anyone's early music library. <br>

[I don't know anything about Gaita, like how good or authentic they<br>
are, or how usable their arrangements are for dance. But it looks<br>
most promising, with the sources listed, and the Gresley looks<br>
exciting to me, if those are ones that we have dance reconstructions<br>
for. -- DdL]<br>
