Easter Oratorio / Magnificat BWV 243

"A splendid interpretation of the Easter Oratorio and Magnificat" - Fono Forum

Using solo voices in the choruses, Paul McCreesh's approach to the Easter Oratorio and Magnificat is characteristically lithe and energetic. The Gabrieli Players are on top form, contributing pomp and brilliance, and "the five vocal soloists are all first-rate, projecting their roles with ease and utter conviction." - Fono Forum

"die fünf Gesangssolisten stammen ausnahmslos aus der ersten Riege und stellen ihre Partien souverän und mit voller Überzeugung dar" - Fono Forum

"ohnehin zeigen sich sämtliche Instrumentalisten der Gabrieli Players in Hochform, sie spielen mit kantiger Energie, brillant und festlich, doch auch zart und klangverliebt" - Klassik Heute

"this version from the Gabrieli Consort directed by Paul McCreesh has a greater sense of purpose, of occasion, than many of its rivals" - BBC Music Magazine
