Missa Solemnis

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Júlia Várady & Iris Vermillion & Vinson Cole & René Pape & Rundfunkchor Berlin & Berliner Philharmoniker & Sir Georg Solti

Missa Solemnis is a solemn Mass composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1823. The large-scale choral and orchestral work fuses the Latin liturgical text with symphonic structures, featuring dense counterpoint, expansive vocal writing and the harmonic complexity of Beethoven's late style, and it occupies a prominent place among his late-period works as an expression of his ambitions in sacred music.
