“Rossini: Messe Solennelle” translates to “Rossini: Solemn Mass” and is sacred music from Gioachino Rossini. Celebrated for its melodic inventiveness, lively rhythms, and dramatic flair, the event, under the baton of Riccardo Chailly and the Leipzig Orchestra, along with a stellar ensemble of soloists, delivered a performance that beautifully captured the emotional depth and complexity of Rossini’s compositions. The musicians blend the grandeur of sound with the sacred essence of choral music.
