In quest of lost organs. All attemps to 'reconstruct' the famous sonatas and canzones of Gabrieli as they were played at San Marco in Venice have come up against a major obstacle: the disappearance of the two organs of the basilica after his death. One of the principal virtues of this recording is that it has tried to restore the original stereophonic effect of the works as accurately and naturally as possible by performing them in San Petronio in Bologna where two organs very similar to those in Venice have survived.
This title was released for the first time in 2000.
