"This is a marvelously handled recording conjuring up a live event that is greatly aided by the opening bell-ringing and the ethereal spacious surround of the chanting. Musically the stars of the show are the works composed by the Gabrielis, uncle and son".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "McCreesh and his team first presented their coronation reconstruction nearly a quarter of a century ago ... This New Venetian Coronation is much more atmospheric than the first ... This is a hugely charismatic and colourful coronation ... McCreesh's new take on his classic recording is a triumph and even more vivid than the first ... Highly recommended to both first- and second-time buyers".

"McCreesh remakes his landmark coronation album ... His reasons for returning to it now seem to be a desire to reflect changes 20 years have brought in playing styles and abilities ... The contents are essentially the same ... Andrea's vocal music is still solemn and effortlessly beautiful and Giovanni's Omnes gentes still blows you away ... If there is a notable change in character, it would be in stronger atmosphere, a clearer realisation ... This second, with its new wisdoms and refinements certainly has its place".
