Missa solemnis, Op. 123
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alison Hargan & Marjana Lipovšek & Thomas Moser & Matthias Hölle & Wiener Singverein & ORF Radio‐Symphonieorchester Wien & Michael Gielen
Missa solemnis, Op. 123 is a solemn mass by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1823 and first performed in 1824. Scored for vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra, the composition blends late Classical formal structures with expansive contrapuntal choral writing and dense orchestral textures, and it belongs to Beethoven's late period in which he intensified his exploration of spiritual themes and structural innovation.
