About the album

The Gabrieli Consort and Players return to the programme 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).
Een vernieuwde reconstructie van een Venetiaanse kroningsmis
The Gabrieli Consort and Players keren met dit album terug naar het programma dat ze in 1990, toen het oorspronkelijk werd opgenomen en uitgebracht, op de muzikale kaart zette. A Venetian Coronation 1595 is een muzikale herschepping die de grootse praal van de Kroningsmis van de Venetiaanse Doge Marino Grimani oproept. Zijn liefde voor ceremonie en staatsfestivals voedde een uitzonderlijke muzikale gulheid tijdens zijn heerschappij, en vormde de achtergrond voor de muzikale rijkdommen uit de periode, in het bijzonder de werken van Giovanni Gabrieli.

De opeenvolging van muziek neemt de vorm van een liturgische reconstructie aan, en bevat niet alleen de teksten en ceremoniële procedures van de Venetiaanse plechtigheid, maar weerspiegelt ook de muzikale en liturgische praktijken van die tijd. Met cornetten, baroktrombones en een ensemble van mannelijke vocalisten benut Paul McCreesh de schitterende polyfonie van de muziek van Andrea en Giovanni Gabrieli ten volle, en boeit hij het publiek met een theatrale en ceremoniële uitvoering.

Gabrieli Consort & Players

Gabrieli are world-renowned interpreters of great vocal and instrumental repertoire, from the Renaissance to the present day. Founded by Paul McCreesh in 1982, Gabrieli have both outgrown and remained true to their original identity: whilst the ensemble’s repertoire has expanded beyond any expectation, McCreesh’s ever-questioning spirit, expressive musicianship and a healthy degree of iconoclasm remain constant and are reflected in the ensemble’s dynamic performances. Gabrieli’s repertoire includes major works of the oratorio tradition, virtuosic a cappella programmes and mould-breaking reconstructions of music for historical events. Above all, Gabrieli aims to create thought-provoking performances which stand out from the crowd.

To date they have made ten recordings, most recently A Rose Magnificat, music dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary from the Renaissance to the present day, released in May 2018 and lauded by critics: “Captivating … imaginative … ambitious” (Financial Times), “the superlative Gabrieli Consort give a formidably encompassing performance” (BBC Music Magazine), “pristine: carefully balanced and always cleanly tuned” (Gramophone). Other highlights include Haydn The Seasons, Britten War Requiem (BBC Music Magazine Award 2014), Mendelssohn Elijah (Diapason d’Or Award 2013), Berlioz’s gargantuan Grande Messe des Morts (BBC Award 2012), and a reworking of his earlier Gabrieli disc, A New Venetian Coronation 1595 (Gramophone Award 2013).
