Among Rossini's works born in Passy, where the musician retired, abandoning the opera house for good, La Petite Messe Solennelle represents one of the peaks of sacred music: a small choral ensemble and only three instruments (two pianos and a harmonium) were enough to give life to a masterpiece. In this recording one of the greatest experts in choral music Bruno Casoni, for many years director of the Choir of the Teatro alla Scala and a selected ensemble of soloists, bring to life in an unrepeatable atmosphere the visionary work of a musician who could finally give free rein to his musical fantasies.
