Gioachino Rossini is famous above all for his operas—from "The Barber of Seville" to "William Tell" to "Cenerentola." However, the Italian composer declared his extremely successful operatic career over when he was barely 40 years old. Numerous short works followed, and, as a kind of crowning achievement, the "Petite messe solennelle." Thomas Hengelbrock and the Balthasar Neumann Ensembles, equally outstanding in opera and sacred music, are the perfect cast for this setting of the mass, which the composer, with typical self-irony, describes as "small."
