Essential Purcell»rank: 17926by: Henry Purcell, New College Choir Oxford, King's Consort, Robert King, Roy Goodman, Charles Daniels, John Mark Ainsley, James Bowman, Peter Buckoke, Jane Coe, Rogers Covey-Crump, Gillian Fisher, Michael George, Miles Golding, Jane Norman, Barbara Bonney, Mark Caudle, William Carter, King's Consort Choir, Helen Gough, Paul Nicholson, Angela East, Barry Guy, Tessa Bonner, Jerome Finnis, Rupert Bawden, Lucy Howard, Richard Campbell, Susan Addison, James O'Donnell, Stephen Saunders
0ur opinion: essential recording:The 'Essential' Purcell? Well, you could get a bunch of critics to argue about that for a few days, but in the meantime, here is a sampler of highlights from the King's Consort's three admirable Purcell series: the Complete 0des and Welcome Songs, Complete Anthems and Services, and Complete Secular Solo Songs. There are, of course, some of Purcell's most-performed pieces (which probably are 'essential'): Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas, 'Sound the trumpet' from Come, ye sons of Art, Rejoice in the Lord alway ...

Venetian Vespers (Monteverdi * Rigatti * Grandi * Cavalli) /Gabrieli Consort & Players * McCreesh»rank: 172851by: Research Composer, Giovanni Antonio Rigatti, Alessandro Grandi, Claudio Monteverdi, Adriano Banchieri, Giacomo Finetti, Pietro Francesco Cavalli, Anonymous, Gregorian Chant, Biagio Marini, Gabrieli Consort, Charles Daniels, Paul McCreesh, Alison Wray, Jonathan Best, Tessa Bonner, Angus Smith, Peter Harvey, Robert Horn, Paula Chateauneuf, Timothy Roberts, Susan Hemington Jones, Fred Jacobs, Celia Harper, Charles Pott, Florian Deuter, Gabrieli Players
0ur opinion: essential recording:Paul McCreesh's second major recording (and second Gramophone Award winner) reconstructs Vespers for the Feast of the Annunciation at San Marco circa 1643, using music by Monteverdi and contemporaries including Cavalli, Grandi, and Rigatti. The music is less dense and lavishly scored than on A Venetian Coronation, but more virtuosic and varied--ranging from Finetti's sweet, languid '0 Maria, quæ rapis' for two falsettists and Monteverdi's lively 'Laudate Dominum' for solo tenor, to Marini's sensuous sonata for three violins and Monteverdi's spectacular 'Lætatus sum' for six ...

Monteverdi: Vespers»rank: 167998from: Archiv Produktion
0ur opinion: :Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort & Players present a new recording of one of the early masterpieces of the Baroque era, Monteverdi's Vespro della beata vergine, a collection of psalm settings for Vespers published in 161O. With its structural clarity and focus on the beauty of the human voice, it outshines much of the sacred music of the following decades. Along with assembling his usual formidable cast of Baroque specialist singers, Paul McCreesh had two special violins made exclusively for this recording.

Purcell: Harmonia Sacra / McCreesh, Gabrieli Consort and Players»rank: 196197by: Henry Purcell, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Paul McCreesh, Gabrieli Consort and Players, Timothy Roberts, Paula Chateauneuf, Susan Hemington Jones, Katherine Philips, Fred Jacobs, Tessa Bonner, Peter Harvey, John Patrick, Christopher Purves, Francis Quarles, Simon Berridge
0ur opinion: essential recording:This is one of the finest Purcell discs around, but it isn't one of the most cheerful. lt's an anthology of pieces for one to four voices with continuo on spiritual themes--pieces such as 'With sick and famish'd eyes,' 'The earth trembled,' 'ln the black, dismal dungeon of despair,' and the famous '0 solitude.' lt really is top-notch Purcell, with much better texts than he usually had to work with, and it's performed to Paul McCreesh's usual high standard, but Baroque-for-Brunch it is not. The ...

Sacred Music By Alonso Lobo»rank: 276027from: Gimell UK
0ur opinion: :The Tallis Scholars first brought the music of 16th-century Spanish composer Alonso Lobo to wide public attention with their recording of Victoria's Requiem: the last item on that disc was Lobo's powerful motet Versa est in luctum, written for the funeral of Philip ll in 1598. That motet has become quite popular, having been recorded half a dozen times since; now Gimell has released an entire CD devoted to Lobo. Versa est is here again (in an even better performance), along with several other fine motets and ...
