| Description: | Mayfield Festival Choir Graham Caldbeck (conductor) Andrew Benians (piano) David Force (harmonium) Sara Lian Owen (soprano) Angharad Lyddon (mezzo soprano) Oliver Johnston (tenor) Frederick Long (bass-baritone) Rossini’s misleadingly entitled Petite Messe Solennelle, was written towards the end of the composer’s life while he was living in Paris. Neither small nor solemn, the Petite Messe is undoubtedly a masterpiece. An exciting and unique work, it applies an almost irreverent Italian operatic style to its traditional liturgical text. |
