Well, duh...
Ok, David recognized the songs composed by Mesomedes, even they are spoken on his CD. Also he has the Seikilos Song on...in a very good version.
The CD lacks of research in names of the instruments, he just made a few mistakes most people do in that theme. Also he made the typical "double-flute-mistake", but less than others.
I cannot agree with his reconstruction of an ancient bagpipe, cause they had no drones in that time as far as we know.
What I like is that he was (he sadly died cause of cancer two years ago) a crack of a musician, really every songs sounds different. He was a very good player on reed-instruments. Nothing is done with to much studio-change in the sound.
It is not composed directly based on ancient tonality and rhymes...but...
It is very creative and great to listen to...its very folkloristic.
A lot of people play the music in a very classical way...I think that lacks of life and religion.
