About the album

The Gabrieli Consort & Player’s first Handel recording in over a decade is particularly special, recreating in painstaking detail the very first performance of L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, given in 1740, with additional instrumental repertoire including a Handel organ concerto and two concerti grossi. The recording sessions for this project began in May 2013 with the then 15-year old star treble Laurence Kilsby, who sang four of the L’Allegro arias that Handel himself assigned to a treble voice. The project’s remaining recording sessions took place in June 2014, with the complete Consort & Players, and soloists Gillian Webster, Jeremy Ovenden, Ashley Riches and Peter Harvey, only to be finally completed in December 2014 with the recording of the additional instrumental repertoire that features the longstanding principal members of the Gabrieli Players – Catherine Martin, Oliver Webber, Christopher Suckling and William Whitehead – performing as solois
De herschepping van de eerste uitvoering van L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato
De eerste Händelopname van het Gabrieli Consort sinds meer dan een decennium is zeer bijzonder: hij creëert in nauwgezette details opnieuw de allereerste uitvoering van L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, die in 1740 plaatsvond. Daarnaast bevat het album extra instrumentaal repertoire, zoals een Orgelconcert van Händel en twee concerti grossi.

Paul McCreesh en het Gabrieli Consort & players, met hun reputatie als weergaloze Händelinterpreten, onderwerpen elke uitvoering en opnameproject aan een uiterst nauwgezet onderzoek. Op dit album worden ze bijgestaan door een prachtige selectie solisten.

De pers is lovend over het album. Early Music Today gaf het vijf sterren en schreef: “This is quite simply life-enhancing music making, a glorious achievement in every respect.” Daarnaast schreef The Times: “McCreesh's superb Gabrieli Consort and Players present all this (...) with flair, a pristine sense of style and infectious energy.”

Gabrieli are world-renowned interpreters of great vocal and instrumental repertoire spanning from the renaissance to the present day. Formed as an early music ensemble by Paul McCreesh in 1982, we have both outgrown and remained true to our original identity. Over thirty years, our repertoire has expanded beyond any expectation, but McCreesh’s ever-questioning spirit and expressive musicianship, together with a healthy degree of iconoclasm, remain constant features and are continually reflected in dynamic performances. Our repertoire includes major works of the oratorio tradition, virtuosic a cappella programmes of music from many centuries and mould-breaking reconstructions of music for historical events.
Gabrieli are acclaimed interpreters of Handel oratorios and Bach Passions and our recordings have garnered numerous international awards, including Gramophone Awards for recordings of Haydn TheCreation (2008 Choral Award) and A New Venetian Coronation (2012 Early Music Award), BBC Music Magazine Awards for Berlioz Grande Messe des Morts and Britten War Requiem, and a Grammy nomination in 2010 for the a cappella disc A Spotless Rose
