Tõnu Kaljuste - Petite Messe Solennelle

Next to Stabat Mater, the Petite Messe solennelle is Rossini's second extensive sacred composition and without a doubt a highlight of his late works. On this recording with Tonu Kaljuste and the Kirchheimer Vokal-Consort, one can hear the original version of the mass, in which the orchestra comprises a piano and a harmonium.
