Synopsis

Album Description
Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort and Players have become famous for their recreations of the great liturgical set pieces of the Venetian 16th and early 17th centuries. These recordings made by Deutsche Grammophon in the 1990s are state of the art and were critically acclaimed. Gramophone reviewing Music for San Rocco said ` It is hard to imagine this fine recording of Gabrieli's music being superseded for some time to come. For the sheer splendour of the music, and the excellence of the performances, this recording is a must, a real five-star achievement'. January 1997 Venetian Vespers Gramophone review `Among the performers there is a feeling of common enterprise that is hard to describe, but which sets this record apart from so many others where the overall impression is of a sequence of unrelated pieces given a disjointed series of separate performances.... There is some carefully thought out and gracefully shaped instrumental playing.... In short this is an heroic achievement of the highest possible order'
 

CD Reviews

McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort and Players at their best

(5 out of 5 stars)

"No collection of early Italien sacred music is complete without this wonderful and truly inspiring recording. This is a milestone recording -

one of immense beauty, fire, colour and searing honesty but most importantly, one of unpretentious interpretation. HEAVEN ON EARTH
