Description:
The "Petite Messe solennelle" from 1863 is Rossini's second extensive sacred composition alongside the "Stabat Mater". The mass is an occasional work, written for the inauguration of the private chapel of a wealthy Parisian nobleman. This explains the reduced instrumental accompaniment of two pianos and harmonium. Of course, this instrumental setting, which is subtly reminiscent of upscale salon music, creates an unmistakable timbre, which is given additional flair by the typical Rossinian rhythms.
