Reviews

FonoForum 07/04: "Paul McCreeshs Gabrieli Consort singt technisch auf demselben exzellenten Niveau wie Gardiners Monteverdi Choir, musikalisch aber deutlich geschmeidiger und reicher an atmosphärischen Nuancen; seine opulent besetzten Gabrieli Players überzeugen unter der neuen Konzertmeisterin Julia Bishop mit einem sehr griffigen, akzentfreudigen und doch stets kultivierten Spiel; und sein Interpretationsansatz steht, was die Breite des dramatischen Spektrums betrifft, dem Neumannschen näher als Gardiners. Das I-Tüpfelchen der vorliegenden Produktion ist aber die Werkeinführung von Ruth Smith, die den politischen Hintergrund dieses 'revulutionären Meisterwerks' beleuchtet."
