The Messa di Gloria recording, a relatively unknown piece of work by a young Giacomo Puccini, was uncovered by Michel Corboz in 1974 for the Erato label, then again, ten years later, by Claudio Scimone, with the same publisher. This discovery, by no means anecdotal, caused quite a stir at the time. Clearly this ample tenor, bass, choir, and orchestra score, written by Puccini while studying in his native city of Lucca – which was premièred in the Duomo (Cathedral) in 1880 – is full of sweeping and sensual melodies which would become this future opera composer’s trademark. It has now become commonplace in choral repertoires around the world.
Recorded in May and June 2022 at the Philharmonie du Luxembourg, this new version calls on the voices of Charles Castronovo and Ludovic Tézier, under the passionate direction of Gustavo Gimeno at the head of the excellent Orfeó Català choir and the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, of which he is the musical director.
Puccini would reuse some materials from his Messe, most notably in his Manon Lescaut opera, where he moved from the sacred to the profane, unlike Johann Sebastian Bach who always did the opposite when reusing any of his works. The programme is completed by three instrumental pieces from the same period in which the themes (Tosca) and the theatrical meaning of his future masterpieces are already emerging. © François Hudry/Qobuz
