Notes & Reviews:

The Gabrieli Consort and Players return to the program that put them on the musical map when it was originally recorded and released in 1990: A Venetian Coronation 1595 is a musical re-creation evoking the grand pageantry of the Coronation Mass for Venetian Doge Marino Grimani. His love of ceremony and state festivals fuelled an extraordinary musical bounty during his reign and formed the background to the musical riches of the period, especially to the works of Giovanni Gabrieli. with cornetts, sackbuts and an all-male consort, Paul McCreesh fully exploits the dazzling polyphony of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli's music and captivates the audience in a theatrical and ceremonious performance. Two decades later, the Gabrieli's New Venetian Coronation takes advantage of huge developments in early instruments, performance techniques and research into the pieces that were on the original (as well as advances in recording techniques). this disc follows on from two critically lauded releases with Signum - Berlioz's Grande Messe des Morts (BBC Music Magazine Award winner - technical excellence) and A Song of Farewell (5 Stars - Classic FM Magazine, Double 5 stars - BBC Music Magazine).

American Record Guide, January/February 2013
Get this. If you don't have the 1990 one, get it too. Paul McCreesh has devoted his performing career to this music. He and his ensemble have lived with it in performance for a very long time. They have nourished new generations of musicians to perform it and new generations of audiences to hear it.
