La petite messe solennelle

Gewandhaus

This sacred work has a few surprises in store: unexpected organ solos, voluminous choral parts, and hesitant and questioning interjections from the solo singers. Alex Penda captures the significance of the work's many facets, singing in a warm timbre and with evident devotion to the score.

Gioachino Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle, in the orchestral version! It’s played by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under the baton of conductor Riccardo Chailly. The concert was held in the year 2008 in the Gewandhaus, Leipzig. Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle was composed in 1863; the last of his Péchés de vieillesse series – Sins of Old Age, as the composer named them. For its premiere iteration in 1864, Rossini had written a work purely for two pianos and a harmonium.

In 1866-67, partly in fear that it would be done after his death regardless, Rossini (1792-1868) discreetly scored the Petite Messe Solennelle for orchestra – without losing any of its candor or subtlety. The resultant arrangement received its first public performance on 28 February, 1869 – three months after the composer's death.
