The Sound Of Voices of THE GABRIELI CONSORT
The ensemble created enchanting and somehow timeless interpretations of this music. There was no kind of ´show biz´ at all other than the beautiful blend of their voices, an incredible precision and a conductor who drew each and every nuance of the music from his Consort. There was an ebb and flow, a rise and fall, to a music that was an homage, a prayer if you will, that engaged a full house audience throughout. The fusion of male and female voices created a wide range and harmonies bounced around the Convent, and allowed ofr change of tone by there being all female or all male deliveries too. The high ceilings and wide open space of this centuries old venue enhanced the hymnal tone of the recital.
