'When you're on a roll, you're on a roll: this is the sixth Gabrieli Consort issue on its own 'Winged Lion' imprint, and easily matches the outstanding quality of its predecessors. This is partly due to conductor Paul McCreesh's bold and imaginative programming, resulting in a Christmas issue which is genuinely challenging and different.' Terry Blain
