Gabriel Studio Cast Recording CD
Description
With music and lyrics by Andrew Fisher and book by Andrew Fisher and Nick Stimson, this new two-act Christmas musical tells the Nativity story from the point of view of an ambitious angel Gabriel.
Gabriel is given the job of relaying messages from Heaven to Earth as they arrive, and in this task sees his chance to earn his much longed for promotion to the status of archangel. But Gabriel has no idea of what is actually coming, and, indeed, has his own set of expectations about how God ought to do it. Roman Palaces, luxury, raised by philosophers, every possible privilege – that must be the plan, right?
Gabriel is a fun, upbeat, and inspiring family musical, recorded at Baker Street Studios, the 26 track studio cast recording stars Daniel Boys as Gabriel, alongside James Gillan, Joel Montague, Kit Orton, Stuart Matthew Price, Lauren Samuels, Ben Stock, Stephen Weller, and multi Olivier award-winner David Bedella as King Herod, and comes complete with a full colour booklet, cast photographs, and synopsis.
Gabriel is the third Andrew Fisher project released by SimG Records, past reviews:
