1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1851-1900) - 'Twelve voices, two pianos, one harmonium: The King's Consort perform Rossini's Mass in its original intimate dimensions, sized to fit a Paris salon. Hardly petite in length, it's an irresistible, affecting work, full of surprises, with tender arias, tremendous fugues, and only a few dips into the sentimental pot. The three period instruments supply a rainbow of colours. Among the singers, Hilary Summers stands out with her individual timbre' (The Times)
