 Rating: - This CD won several awards The other reviews here are spot on and i agree! This is a very special disc. May i also add that it was awarded Record of the Year 1990 by ABC-FM Stereo here in Australia and Gramophone (UK) 1990 Early Music Award. I also suggest looking at abcshop dot com dot au for a superb selection of High quality classical music most of which is produced in Oz and not seen in huge quantities overseas.

This recording happens to be one of the best recordings of the music of Giovanni and Andrea Gabrieli available. If you only ever buy one recording of Gabrieli's music, make it this one. There are a few good recordings of Gabrieli's music but none are better that 'A Venetian Coronation'. The recording ...

And what a superb disc it is! Although it is no longer possible to establish exactly what music was played at the coronation of the Doge of Venice in 1595, Paul McCreesh has examined all the available evidence and come up with a sparkling programme of music by Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, complemented by Gregorian chant and also by fanfares by Bendinelli and Thomsen.
