Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle
There is nothing Petite about the demands Rossini makes of his soloists, and the strong team of soprano Augusta Hebbert, alto Martha McLorinan, tenor Benjamin Vonberg-Clark and bass Edward Jones all made the most of their moments in the limelight, to the clear delight of their audience. But I was also hugely impressed by the togetherness they achieved in the various duets, trios and quartets.
