In the last decade, a number of important manuscripts have been discovered in the archives of Genoa, including the Messa solenne by Saverio Mercadante. This magnificent score calls for four vocal soloists, a male choir – women were forbidden to sing in church at the time – and a large orchestra with extensive concertante parts for cor anglais and violin. First performed in January 1868, two years before Mercadante’s death, it shows the composer’s artistic maturity at its peak: opulent orchestration, extensive counterpoint, intricate instrumental textures, rich lyricism, and fugal mastery. This world premiere recording underscores the importance of the Genoese musical tradition.
