The organists Liuwe Tamminga and Leo Van Doeselaar have selected eleven double-choir instrumental pieces from Giovanni Gabrieli. This selection, performed on two of the most beautiful and suitable organs for this repertoire: the two magnificent organs of the San Petronio Basilica in Bologna (unfortunately no comparable organs have survived in Venice) — offers an excellent panorama of Giovanni Gabrieli’s double-choir compositions in the older (canzoni and madrigals) and newer (sonate) forms and styles of the two decades between the late 16th and the early 17th century in Venice.
