"...L’immagine comune della vita musicale veneziana del Rinascimento generalmente viene focalizzata sulla basilica ducale dove si svolgevano le cerimonie solenni e sfarzose che rappresentavano il potere della Serenissima, e nella quale operavano i più prestigiosi musicisti dell’epoca, ma dai diciotto saggi che compongono questo A Companion to Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice […] emerge un panorama sonoro incredibilmente ampio, dettagliato e unico per la sua specificità. A Venezia la musica risuonava in tutti i suoi sestieri grazie alla quantità di chiese, conventi, confraternite, saloni di palazzi nobiliari e accademie, e agli stampatori e ai costruttori di strumenti musicali attivi nella città lagunare." - Paolo Scarnecchia on http://www.giornaledellamusica.it/dischi/riscoprire-la-musica-di-giovanni-croce.
