We attended a performance of Measure for Measure by the Globe Theatre 
troupe, at the St. Ann's Warehouse theater in New York, and have been 
inspired to find a good CD of Elizabethan music (and song) with original 
(or copies thereof) instrumentatiion. The Globe Theatre troupe sells such 
CDs, but they are costly including international mailing. Can anyone 
suggest what they consider some best CDs of such music?

Philip Pickett had a CD which was titled "Shakespeare's Musick;"
I thought this was fairly common in the used CD market, but the only
seller on Amazon.com is asking $48 for a copy, which probably makes
the CDs from the Globe troupe look reasonably priced. 

Another Pickett album, "Shakespeare at Covent Garden," is much more 
reasonably priced around $6.

Searching Amazon.com's classical music section for "Shakespeare" turns
up many CDs, none of which I am familiar with.
