Rating:  - Technically flawless but...
Empire brass always has shown their very high technical level with their instruments. And thats precisely the problem - again on this recording too. They are so eager to show off what they can, but musicality is lost in this process. They often play to quick, and what's consistent in all their recordings that I know so far, the trumpets are too loud, too present. I am not looking for historical acurate recordings. I just want to hear Gabrielis wonderful music with todays instruments. In fact I prefer ... Read More
Rating:  - Peerless and Definitive Interpretations of the 1615 Anthology
This recording contains peerless and definitive performances of several selections from Canzoni e Sonate, the postumous 1615 collection of 20 Gabrieli canzons and sonatas that are played in our era on brass instruments. The second cut, Canzon XVI for three choirs and 12 instrumental voices, is one of the great performances of brass music on disc. If it doesn't raise your hair, you don't respond to brass music. I have organized performances of Gabrieli for more than 20 years. Robert King contributed ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Work of Hard to Find Selections
Comparing modern brass to period instruments is quite ignorant and pointless. Very little music is played on period instruments becuase it is incredibly pointless. Advances in technology and production are used for a reason. This is a well produced and performed collection of incredible brass music. My personal favorite is Canzon XIII. Any person who has performed or been enthralled by the music of Gabrieli will greatly enjoy this album.
Rating: - Admittedly, not period instruments...
but it's hardly cubic zirconium; perhaps manmade diamonds are a better comparison. With what I assume is a hearty use of multitracking, the Empire Brass give us a glorious rendition of music of Gabrieli and some of his contemporaries. I think it's lovely, absolutely captivating and completely respectful of the original, if not an attempt to reproduce the original. But so what, every time Bach is played on a modern piano it's not authentic--for that matter, neither is playing Mozart on a modern piano ... Read More
Rating:  - Why settle for CZ when you can have diamonds?
Having only heard Giovanni Gabrieli's music performed on period instruments such a cornetts and sackbutts, and performed in HIP manner, against my better judgement (and the advice of a friend) I bought this disc. I heard an excerpt from it on the radio and it didn't sound too bad, and I was curious as to what it was like. In all honesty, I have to say that the Empire Brass does as well as they can with this music, given the instruments that they are working with. Trumpets are just too loud and brassy. ... Read More
