On the other hand, the presentation and accompanying materials are a mess. Only about half the pieces are ‘From the Imperial Court’, though most of the rest qualify for the tiny-print subtitle ‘Music for the House of Hapsburg’. Confusion reigns over the contents and order of the recording, which is inconsistent across the track-listing on the back of the box, the booklet-note and the actual recording (the order on the disc is musically good). The piece here credited to Senfl was revealed more than 50 years ago (in a famous article) as being by Costanzo Festa and having nothing to do with the Emperor Maximilian’s funeral. Several other details are either out of date or plain wrong.
