bmoura Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 San Francisco's KQED public broadcasting station has produced an excellent 25-minute video "The Making of Gabrieli" which is now available for your viewing enjoyment on YouTube. The video tells the story of how the nation's best brass players were assembled as the National Brass Ensemble to re-create and perform a historic 1968 recording of sacred music by the great Italian Renaissance composer Giovanni Gabrieli — and also lay down a new work specially written for them by American film composer John Williams. It includes scenes from the session rehearsals at Sonoma State University and the recording session at Skywalker Sound with Five/Four Productions recording engineer Michael Bishop. The album is available as a Surround Sound SACD from Amazon and other sellers and as a Stereo and Surround Sound DSD Download from NativeDSD Music. https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2017/06/22/exclusive-watch-brass-music-all-stars-shred-at-skywalker-sound/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHs4W3bdReI https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014E1TMHC/https://oberlinmusic.nativedsd.com/albums/1122 Link to comment
coot Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hi bmoura, As an old tenor sackbut major and brass instructor, I thoroughly enjoyed this clip. Thank you for alerting us to it. Well-played Gabrieli still thrills my soul. Bravo! Link to comment

Just found out about the KQED-TV documentary. A fine compliment to the project. I suspect it will introduce more people to the music and lead to some added sales of the Surround Sound SACD and downloads ! Link to comment
