In ‘Missa Solemnis’ Beethoven expresses his most personal spiritual beliefs. This is striking, because he had never previously alluded to his faith openly. This ambitious masterpiece is imbued with a certain theatricality, which means that it is equally at home in the concert hall and the church. It contains stunning contrasts between dramatic lyricism and impressive silence, brilliant fugues and majestic, evocative choral passages. The dramatic tension that spans the almost ninety-minute long ‘Missa Solemnis’ makes this a real marathon for both singers and musicians. And one of Beethoven’s most inspiring, but also most challenging works. This performance by Le Concert Olympique and Arnold Schönberg Chor will always occupy a special place in your heart.
