A Venetian Coronation 1595

This recording presents a hypothetical reconstruction of the service of coronation of the Doge of Venice. Like all of Mr McCreesh's "reconstruction" recordings of late, the concept is thoroughly grounded in good research and sublime execution. Fortunately on this recording we have a perfect acoustic for the music selected. It is crisp, clear and yet resonantly rich when needed. The ceremony is presented with the appropriate gravity. Perhaps the choice of polychoral Mass-Settings by Andrea Gabrieli highlights this. They are simpler and more austere than the slightly later works of Giovanni Gabrieli. However, for the pure thrill of sonorous majesty listen to the closing (third) section of the Kyrie. The instrumentalists are on top form, with the timbre of the sackbutts particularly well-shaped in this recording. The balance between chant and polyphony is not going to bore anyone in this recording and the small amounts of plainchant are sung with great shaping and sensitivity. Why the Counter Reformation failed with such music behind it will remain a mystery.
