About
Before turning his attention to opera, Puccini wrote a number of marvellous pieces that are not always known to the public, even though they already fully express his genius.
This is particularly true of the astonishing Messa di Gloria, whose evocative power and shimmering colours well deserved an exceptional cast such as this.
And indeed, a special fervour inspires the soloists and chorus gathered around Gustavo Gimeno and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg.

Oscillating between benign and highspirited in character, Puccini’s 1880 mass comes with moments that would not sound out of place in a Verdi opera. Don’t expect to plunge the emotional depths; do enjoy a very likeable , melodious work, performed here with winning panache.

Gimeno paces the work beautifully and his orchestra play well, with plenty of detail and dynamic subtlety – climaxes are kept on a tight leash and carefully controlled.
