CD Reviews

A must have

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have several recordings of Gabrielis work. Not only that this one is the only that has all brass works complete, it also is the one that I find the most to enjoy. I must admit I am not very interested in an acurate representation of Gabrielis work, I am more interested in the best sounding. Who is looking for historical acuracy to the original should search for recordings with Sackbut and Trombones. The London Brass recordings are with Trumpets and Trombones. For more richness and diversity I would prefer recordings with Trumpet, Trombones, Tuba and Horns. There are other recordings that do contain those instruments, for example "The Antiphonal Music of Gabrieli", that is from sound basics a more interesting recordings, but unfortunately they play directly from sheet without any preparation, it lacks of musicality on some point. Then the Empire Brass recordings, dont know if they have prepared it or play on first sight too, but in any case they lack musicality too, their play is more a show off of technical possibilies then making good music, they often play too agressiv with too much velocity. So finally there is only this recordings of London Brass that is througly enjoyable."
