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

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