Full of youthful exuberance and irresistible melodies, Puccini’s miraculous Messa di Gloria was written when the composer was just 21, and shows him at his melodic best. It is paired here with Rossini’s equally tuneful Stabat Mater – containing the well-loved aria ‘Cujus animam’ popularized by Pavarotti - in an evening of sacred music at its most operatic.
