2pm
Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle
大象传媒 Singers
David Hill (conductor)
"One of the sins of my old age" was how Rossini described his Short Solemn Mass - which, famously, is neither short nor solemn, and so influenced by the music of the opera house that even to call it a Mass seems out of place. Elaborate choruses, fabulously operatic solo writing - by turns dramatic, expressive and humorous - have made this extraordinary piece one of the icons of the 19th-century choral repertoire.
The 大象传媒 Singers and their Chief Conductor David Hill perform the work in the stunning Old Chapel of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
[First broadcast on Saturday 6th August].
