GABRIELI FOR BRASS: VENETIAN EXTRAVAGANZA // ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND JUILLIARD SCHOOL BRASS
This fascinating transatlantic musical collaboration between the brass players of London͛s Royal Academy of Music and New York͛s Juilliard School presents enduring masterpieces by Giovanni Gabrieli and his Venetian contemporaries. Under the direction of Reinhold Friedrich, renowned trumpet soloist and Principal Trumpet of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, the players blend modern instruments and intellect with 16th-century technique and tuning to excel in this profoundly challenging repertoire. The beautiful acoustic of St Jude͛s, Hampstead results in a gloriously sonorous soundscape; burnished waves of rich, warm trombones alternate with the brilliant, crystalline articulation of trumpets.Academy Principal Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, who produced the recording, states: ͚We͛re hoping it will show Gabrieli as the composer of great intimate music as well as wonderfully grandiloquent Venetian polyphony.͛ This remarkable recording features some of the most compelling and attractive instrumental music of the late Renaissance era and boasts performances worthy of Gabrieli͛s extraordinary legacy and the reputation of these two outstanding institutions.
