That is to say, for all its vim and vigor, this 1995 recording of Purcell's Hail, Bright Cecilia by Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort and Players is more a jolt to the nervous system than an aesthetic experience. McCreesh takes his tempo briskly and his choruses brightly and he doesn't let his soloists linger too long in the arias and duets. But while his approach does keep the music moving along, it misses the heights and depths, not to mention the intimacy and grandeur, of the work

Hail, bright Cecilia!, . 28 Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day. 2 Verse Anthems: My beloved spake. O sing unto the Lord. Gabrieli Consort & Players. Paul McCreesh (conductor). Paul McCreesh’s version of the Ode is very much a product of its age: with supremely assured execution as sine qua non, the contrasts between intimacy and brandished opulence are meticulously prepared and boldly realized. Jonathan Freeman-Attwood (album liner notes).
