5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous introduction to Venetian sacred music July 24 2003
By Steven Guy
Format:Audio CD
This fantastic collection of music is probably one of the best introductions to Venetian Baroque (early to late) on offer.
The first disc, devoted to Giovanni Gabrieli, is nothing short of amazing. Cornetts, Baroque violins, tenor cornetts, sackbuts and multiple organs (try the first track - the huge Dulcis Jesu patris imago à 20 voci) can be heard on this disc and they are all played with great panache, style and, most importantly, expression. I bought both of these discs when they were issued on EMI Reflex over ten years ago - and I have never stopped loving these magnificent and colourful performances.

If you want only one recording of Giovanni Gabrieli's music - then this might be the one for you! The other might be the Gabrieli Consort's 'A Venetian Coronation'? (if you want two Gabrieli recordings in your collection!)

The second disc contains a very tasty selection of music by Legrenzi, Monteverdi, Vivaldi and, again, Giovanni Gabrieli (the star of the show!).

If you want to know what 8 cornetts and 16 sackbuts sound like - then this is the place to go! The singing and playing from all concerned is excellent.

I love this CD and I bought this reissue because my old EMI CDs were getting a bit old!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, Inspiring Performance, Good Variety Dec 5 2001
By Timothy Dougal - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a great CD if you want a sampler of the music of the composers who tickled the Doge's ears in Venice from the 16th-18th centuries, without the chants and sequences that burden many reconstructions. Most of the music is by the Gabrieli's or Monteverdi, but Vivaldi, Lotti and others are represented. This disc is generously filled. I really like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fabulous Andrew Parrott Aug 3 2005
By D. R. Endicott - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Who else but Andrew Parrott?! The fabulous adventurer in the field of early music, Parrott has time and again unearthed unknown masterpieces, shedding light on their original luster through a keen sense of the historical settings, employment of the proper historic instruments & period vocal style, and his own inspired musicianship. Throughout the 2nd half of the 20th century music lovers like me knew the works of Gabrieli through the appropriations by well-meaning ensembles of modern brass instruments: Chicago Symphony Brass, Canadian Brass, etc. Parrott has been the first to perform and record many of these works with early 17th century instruments, providing a restored sonic image for the 21st century connoisseur. Bravo! Encore, please!
