Info for Gabrieli: Music for Brass and Organ

Recorded in Berlin’s magnificent cathedral, this album features some of Giovanni Gabrieli's most celebrated compositions, in outstanding sound quality.

In partnership with some 30 brass players from the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Berlin’s Deutsche Oper and other ensembles, PENTATONE has succeeded in conveying the full lustre of the Venetian polychoral style.

A building of great national importance, Berlin’s cathedral has become increasingly popular among music lovers as a concert venue. This is in part due to its superlative acoustics. A must-have for true lovers of unlimited sonority.
