CD Reviews

Simply superb music

Steven Guy | Croydon, South Australia | 10/31/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this recording twelve years ago and it is a great pleasure to recommend it to you now. The performances of all the music on this incredible CD are beautiful, expressive and sublime.

The music on this recording has an "inner glow". This is the music one will hear in heaven - one can only hope!

The recording features the Currende vocal ensemble and the cornetts and trombones of Concerto Palatino with Mr. Herman Stinders playing the basso continuo on the organ. Mr. Erik Van Nevel directs the ensembles.

The music of Giovanni Gabrieli is played with great style and beauty. It was often in his straight-forward music for double choir in so many of his motets that his genius burned so brightly. All his works are masterpieces, as you know! However, I was very interested in the works of Adriaan Willaert, the pioneer of the Venetian polychoral style, on this recording (I guess most of you have read about Willaert in music history books?). I was not disappointed. Willaert's music is very beautiful and expressive, and often has an almost dream-like quality. Beautiful (there's that word again!), poised, elegant, sober, and yet, profoundly expressive music.

As I said, I bought this CD in 1993 and I have never grown tired of hearing it. I am listening to it now as I write this review. I only wish the same forces had produced a CD devoted entirely to the music of Willaert. Willaert, like Gabrieli, was a genius, and yet, his music remains a great mystery to most music lovers (me included - even though I have sung and played his music on my cornetto muto).

This pleasing, expressive and stylish CD deserves a place in your collection, if you REALLY love music. Prepare to swoon!
