About This Recording
Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1554/1557-1612) served as principal organist at St Mark's Basilica in Venice, where he pioneered the Venetian polychoral style that would define an era of ceremonial brass music. The Canzon Spiritata belongs to his instrumental canzonas — works that exploit the spatial acoustics of St Mark's through antiphonal brass writing, dynamic contrasts and regal harmonic progressions. The piece radiates military grandeur, patriotic ceremony and scenic splendour, making it one of the most recognisable works in the Renaissance-to-Baroque brass repertoire. This Artyfile recording presents the canzona under the artistic direction of Paul Lorenz, capturing the full resonance and timbral richness of the brass ensemble. Mastered to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality, the recording is optimised for professional film, television and digital media production. Released as an Artyfile exclusive (SKU: ars21000716.1).
