anzubeten und alles übrige an seiner Stelle bleibt, jedermann still ist, und der Chor anfängt, ist eine der schönsten unter allen merkwürdigen Funktionen.“ In einem eindrucksvollen Programm macht das italienische Ensemble Concerto Romano diese mystischen Werke wieder hörbar. A Catholic counterpoint to the celebration of the Reformation. Directed by Palestrina, music at the Vatican was an unusual phenomenon. Works such as Allegri’s Miserere were secret and could be performed only in the Sistine Chapel in the presence of the Pope – until 14-year old Mozart wrote the music out from memory after attending mass there. Goethe also attended mass in Rome on Good Friday in 1787 and noted deeply moved that “the music in the Chapel is unbelievably beau tiful...The moment at which the Pope, stripped of his rich robes, climbs down from his throne to pray to the cross and everything else stays in its place, everyone is silent and the choir begins is one of the most beautiful of all notable functions.” In an impressive programme the Italian ensemble, Concerto Romano, brings these mystical works to life again.
