Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle is rarely heard in today's concert halls, 
which is a pity, because this is great music in every respect. The 
instrumentation is spare, but brilliant, there are intimate as well as grandiose 
parts and many moving moments. Soloists, choir and orchestra are kept on their 
toes throughout the 80+-minutes work. If I ever heard an ideal interpretation of 
the Messe, this is it: Riccardo Chailly--visibly moved by the musical and 
spiritual event--and his Leipzig musicians, including the organist and, of 
course, the two choirs are superb. The four soloists, obviously familiar with 
Rossini's idiom and bel canto, are in glorious form.
