The origins of the harpsichord and virginal are explored, as well as a selection of pre-keyboard predecessors, the hammered dulcimer, the harp and the psaltery. American/Dutch keyboardist Kathryn Cok dazzles with performances on harpsichord and virginal of English Renaissance composer John Bull, and Elaine Comparone's virginal muselar in gorgeous performances of the music of John Dowland.
