Beyond the Notes is a unique feature of many Musica Omnia releases. The "Beyond the Notes" disc is an educational commentary CD featuring conversations with the performers, instrument builders and restorers, and noted scholars. These complementary CDs bring the music to life through musical examples and illustrative discussions about the life and times of the composer and period performance techniques.
