The Petite Messe solennelle could represent, on its own, the Bel canto.
Last of his "sins of
old age", Rossini leaves, with this
work, one of the jewels of 19th century sacred music. "Small" by its numbers, this mass
is no less great in its
solemnity, its magnitude, its power
lyrical and dramatic.
We find there the spirit, the audacity and
the virtuoso vocalizations that make the
success of the Rossinian opera. The Barber of Seville is not far away.
To interpret it, alongside
the Paris Chamber Orchestra and
from the Accentus Choir, a dream cast: Julia Lezhneva, Rossinian among all, who since her
Rossini record, makes Pesaro happy
or even more recently,
Théâtre des Champs Elysées where she
shone in Rosine of the Barber of Seville last June.
Extremely rare in this work, the viola
is a countertenor made for the
role: Franco Fagioli, very spotted since the sensational Artaserse the year
last. As for Michael Spyres,
Festival audiences still remember her magical appearance and
masterfully in Berlioz's Requiem conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner.
To lead this very beautiful world
and this very great work, Ottavio
Dantone, one of the finest Italian baguettes today, the
Baroque conductor of La Scala, knighted in
his time by Riccardo Muti.

English

La Petite Messe solennelle pourrait représenter, à elle seule, le Bel canto.
Dernier de ses « péchés de
vieillesse », Rossini laisse, avec cette
œuvre, l’un des joyaux de la musique sacrée du XIXe siècle. « Petite » par ses effectifs, cette messe
n’en est pas moins grande dans sa
solennité, son ampleur, sa puissance
lyrique et dramatique.
On y retrouve l’esprit, l’audace et
les vocalises virtuoses qui font le
succès de l’opéra rossinien. Le Barbier de Séville n’est pas loin.
Pour l’interpréter, aux côtés de
l’Orchestre de Chambre de Paris et
du Chœur Accentus, une distribution de rêve : Julia Lezhneva, rossinienne entre toutes, qui depuis son
disque Rossini, fait la joie de Pesaro
ou encore plus récemment, du
Théâtre des Champs Elysées où elle
a brillé en Rosine du Barbier de Séville en juin dernier.
Rarissime dans cette œuvre, l’alto
est un contre-ténor taillé pour le
rôle : Franco Fagioli, très repéré depuis le fracassant Artaserse l’année
dernière. Quant à Michael Spyres,
le public du Festival se souvient encore de son apparition magique et
magistrale dans le Requiem de Berlioz dirigé par Sir John Eliot Gardiner.
Pour conduire ce très beau monde
et cette très grande œuvre, Ottavio
Dantone, l’une des plus belles baguettes italiennes d’aujourd’hui, le
chef baroque de la Scala, adoubé en
son temps par Riccardo Muti.
