When we speak of "the Gabrielis," we mean uncle Andrea and nephew Giovanni, each of whom worked as principal organist at the Basilica of San Marco in Venice during the 16th century. (Unless, of course, we mean Paul McCreesh's Gabrieli Consort & Players, the composers' leading interpreters.) Giovanni by far is the better known composer, no doubt because his extroverted music for multiple choirs of brass instruments and/or voices so readily attracts the attention of listeners (and concert presenters and record producers, too). While Andrea Gabrieli composed also polychoral music, his style tends to be more subdued and meditative--in line with his contemporary colleagues Palestrina and Victoria--than that of his nephew. Hyperion has begun to give the older composer his due with the first widely available CD that's devoted entirely to his music. The veteran English ensemble His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts and its new companion, His Majestys Consort of Voices, perform Andrea's Missa Pater Peccavi along with several motets, instrumental pieces, and organ works. While the program is not a McCreesh-style liturgical reconstruction, the shorter works are interspersed between the movements of the Mass, with an end result that's not far from the practice at music-crazed San Marco. The Mass is performed by voices and instruments doing the six parts together, while the motets are performed with voices on one or two lines and instruments on the rest. While one misses the reverent fervor that McCreesh and his musicians bring to this music, these performers do an attractive, thoroughly professional job with this luminous music and begin to redress the familial imbalance. --Matthew Westphal

5 out of 5 stars Very good interpretations of little known music.......2003-10-08

I would take issue with the Amazon reviewer - Andrea Gabrieli's music is frequently more out-going than that of his nephew, the famous Giovanni Gabrieli. Andrea Gabrieli's problem is that his music is still relatively unknown by singers, musicians, conductors and music lovers.

I feel that even though a minimalistic approach has been taken on this disc it works well. The playing from HMS&C is very good and the singing is also up to a high standard. One minor quibble - I would have liked to have heard this Mass performed with trebles (i.e. boy sopranos). Cornetts and sackbuts 'blend' much better with these kinds of voices. However, this is not a major issue for me with this CD.

The Mass is a beautiful work and the instrumental ricercari are very nice too!

I look forward to more discs of vocal/instrumental works from these performers. Perhaps some Willaert, Lassus or Rore next time?

Anyway, well done to all concerned. A beautiful recording.
