5.0 out of 5 stars
Splendid choral sound and fabulous organ in superb acoustic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Schütz: Christmas Vespers / McCreesh, Gabrieli Consort and Players (Audio CD)
This fine recording continues the tradition started by the Consort with their Praetorius Christmas recording released several seasons ago. The organ sound is rich and impressive, and the choral sound is, as usual, impeccable. Charles Daniels is an effective evangelist in the Schutz Christmas Oratorio, though he is not as sonorous as John Mark Ainsley on Hyperion. This as close as I come to a cavil regarding this very fine recording.

This review is from: Schütz: Christmas Vespers / McCreesh, Gabrieli Consort and Players (Audio CD)
First of all, I was enthralled by the singing and the organ sound: very rich and musical in every way. The congregational singing, specifically, is superb, and the CD is worth buying for everything that comes before and after the Christmas Historia.The historia, though, is an edition that is disconcerting to me. Perhaps I have heard versions that are less "authentic" than this one, but there are enough differences between the McCreesh and other versions I have heard that I must assume others will be affected the same way. |
