Before turning his attention to opera, Puccini wrote a number of marvellous pieces that are not always known to the public, even though they already fully express his genius. This is particularly true of the astonishing Messa di Gloria, whose evocative power and shimmering colours well deserved an exceptional cast such as this. And indeed, a special fervour inspires the soloists and chorus gathered around Gustavo Gimeno and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg.
