014 CD / Giocchino Rossini: Petite messe solenelle
Description
"(...) The musicians in this recording do a superb job of capturing all these disparate elements of the mass. The chorus is crisp and the soloists strong - especially tenor Roberto Saccà, who gives an expressive, clear-voiced, and assured performance. In fact, all of the singers summon grace when called for, and bravura when needen. - Engineer and producer Andreas Spreer presents the listener with an extremely natural sound (...) All in all, a distinguished accomplishment." (Stereophile) "Although the ensemble does not dazzle us with any famous names, I really like this production very much indeed for its unaffected and almost sensational naturalness." (HiFiVision)

... There are two factors which distinguish this recording: the excellence of the ensemble effort and the recorded sound itself...
