1h 27m
“Is it sacred music, or sacred music?” Writes Gioacchino Rossini about the Solemn Small Mass to his sponsor, regent of the Banque de France, for the consecration of his Parisian mansion. This private setting explains the choice of an initially small workforce - four soloists, a choir of eight singers, two pianos and a harmonium. In 1867, however, Rossini decided to orchestrate this chamber mass before others did it in his place as he put it.
