Dec 10 From Stabat Mater and Petite Messe Solennelle

Reto Muller of the German Rossini Society suggested this work along with the observation: ” An outstanding composition during the great ‘silence’, the main sacral composition between Stabat and Petite Messe. Incredible how Rossini renewed himself and gives his composition a breath of Risorgimento!
The slow beginning and the very fast conclusion corresponds to Rossini’s metronome indication.”
