Contemporaine du Requiem de Verdi, cette Missa di Gloria est en fait plus proche du Stabat Mater de Rossini, par sa sobriété expressive et son romantisme pondéré. Œuvre d'un jeune Puccini, elle annonce déjà les ouvrages de la maturité ; et la sensualité gourmande de ses pages comme le lyrisme quasi scénique qu'elle renferme en font un quasi-opéra . Alagna et Hampson en exaltent la grandeur d'âme, cette générosité du sentiment qui est le propre de la musique du compositeur italien. À la tête d'un orchestre somptueux, Pappano agit en grand homme de théâtre, au tempérament bien trempé, mais qui sait conserver cette once indispensable de retenue. –Pierre Guillaume

Roberto Alagna and Antonio Pappano are two-thirds of the EMI triumvirate (corresponding member, Angela Gheorghiu), which has done well by Puccini on previous discs. Although this one steps outside the operatic canon into the lesser margins of the composer's output, it's all done so eloquently you forget how undistinguished the material sometimes is. Pappano and the London Symphony Orchestra are clearly in the middle of a love affair and seem to understand each other's every move. Alagna sails through his three sections, making slightly heavy weather of the "Gratias with worrying signs of a widening vibrato, but happy enough in the oddly amiable Agnus Dei" duet with Thomas Hampson. Ffor a good example of the current all-round health of the LSO after several years of conservative core-repertory craft under its chief conductor, Colin Davis, listen to how beautifully the strings phrase the enlarged string quartet movement Crisantemi, which, together with the Preludio sinfonico, makes a welcome filler. –Michael White
