Two Italian choral masterpieces: Puccini’s sparkling Messa di Gloria (1880), written with all the freshness of youth (the composer was only 22) was undeservedly neglected until its rediscovery in 1952. Rossini’s Stabat Mater (1841), dates from later in the composer’s life. Very different from his secular compositions, nevertheless critics attacked it as “too worldly, sensuous, too playful for the religious subject” – precisely the qualities which have given the work an immediate and lasting appeal. Sung by Colchester Choral Society with Colchester Sinfonia, conducted by Ian Ray. Soloists: Catherine May (soprano), Catherine Carby (mezzo-soprano), Daniel Joy (tenor) and Ed Ballard (bass)
