L. v. Beethoven: Missa Solemnis
Overview
In Beethoven’s humanistic world, faith in God cannot be separated from faith in Man. The struggle with the concept of the divine, the agonizing dominance of doubt and the redemptive return to a renewed and profoundly genuine faith are some of the driving forces that shape the development of the soul-stirring religious drama unfolding in Missa Solemnis. This unique and lengthy masterpiece of Beethoven’s mature period, regarded by may as the greatest symphonic work of all time, is conducted by the inspiring German maestro Christoph Poppen.
