Beethoven Revolution: Missa Solemnis

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Jordi Savall & Le Concert des Nations

Missa Solemnis, Op. 123 is a solemn mass by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1823 and first performed in 1824. The work is a large-scale liturgical choral and orchestral composition that synthesises late-Classical forms with Beethoven's late-period harmonic and contrapuntal language, featuring expansive vocal writing, dense orchestration and complex contrapuntal textures, and it stands among his major late works as an exploration of spiritual and structural ambition in his final creative period.
