Bruckner Mass in E Minor: Gounod Petite Symphonie
Part of the Mayfield Festival 2024
Add to my Calendar 28-04-2024 19:30 28-04-2024 21:30 36 Bruckner Mass in E Minor: Gounod Petite Symphonie Charles Gounod's delightful nonet ('Little Symphony') went down a storm at its first performance in Paris in 1885, mainly because it's pretty and lovely to listen to. Bruckner's Mass in E minor is altogether bigger and more austere, and had to wait three years after the date of its composition before it was premiered in 1869. It was first performed outdoors, because the building for which it was written still hadn't been finished. Mayfield is fortunate in having a church that was completed some years ago........
