Recording date: November 1990

A good recording devoted to the music of Gabrieli, with the collaboration of the very best players of historical brass instruments.

With the exception of track #12, the vocal works are taken from unpublished manuscript sources. Track #12 is from Reliquiae sacrorum (1615) devoted to Gabrieli and Hassler. The instrumental works are taken from Sacrae symphoniae (1597) and Canzoni et sonate (1615) as noted above.
