Giovanni Gabrieli: Music For San Rocco

Charles Pott, Donald Greig, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1996

This is how you perform the music of Gabrieli!
There is little I can add to what the other reviewers have said about this tremendous recording. The performances are very good, the tempi are well chosen and the instruments are the rights ones. There are many excellent contributions from individuals - Robin Blaze is ...

An amazing reproduction of 17th century Vespers
Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players have put together an entirely captivating re-creation of a Vespers service, the Catholic office of evening prayer, as it might have been performed at St. Mark's in Venice in the early 17th century. From the sacristy ...

This set will delight any lover of Purcell. Ideally, you will want all 8 CD's; but if you must pick and choose, get at least Vols 1, 2 & 8 (these contain, between them, Welcome to all the pleasures, Hail Bright Cecilia and Come ye sons of art). Volume 1, entitled ...

One Chance

Paul Potts

Sony, 2007

Simply wow!
A friend sent me the YouTube segment of Paul winning the 'Britain's Got Talent' show and I knew I wanted to hear more. I am not a major fan of opera music but I like it now and then and this cd by Paul is definitely one I will listen to often. I hope he does more.

Gregorian Chant, Heinrich Schutz, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1999

Splendid choral sound and fabulous organ in superb acoustic
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 ...

Superb reconstruction, glorious sound, overwhelming beauty
This 1989 recording for Virgin Classics is the one that made Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players famous. 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 ...

All Shook Up (2005 Original Broadway Cast) (Featuring the Songs of Elvis Presley)

Cheyenne Jackson, Jenn Gambatese, ...

Bmg Marketing, 2005

A Rollicking Good Time
Over the summer I got to experience the Broadway show All Shook Up and it was highly enjoyable. Because critics don't like shows that are based off unoriginal music, they missed the point of All Shook Up. It was a fantastic tribute to one of the greatest singers of ...

Paul Potts [United Kingdom]: One Chance

Paul Potts

Sony Bmg Europe, 2007

A promising first CD from an exciting new tenor!
First of all, the current Paul Potts mania opens the door to all kinds of absurd descriptions of his singing. Readers should probably discount nearly all the extreme reviews and focus on those which show some sense of balance and impartiality. To call him better than ...
