Recordings of . mechanical musical instruments collected and introduced by Fritz Spiegl
Henry VIII's automatic spinet, ' an instrument that goeth with a whele, without playinge vppon,' does not survive, but similar instruments from the time of Shakespeare are heard in this programme; also a barrel organ that plays operatic pieces by Handel and Arne, a Mozartian mechanical organ, and a Napoleonic trumpet-machine. Such instruments provide fascinating evidence of how the music of the past actually sounded.
Programme produced by Roger Fiske
