Große Messe C-Moll

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Barbara Hendricks & Janet Perry & Peter Schreier & Benjamin Luxon & Wiener Singverein & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

The Große Messe in C‑Moll is a mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1782–1783. Scored for choir, soloists and orchestra, the work blends late Classical liturgical structures with operatic vocal writing—featuring dramatic choral passages, elaborate solo writing and rich orchestral textures—and is an expansive but unfinished large-scale sacred composition from Mozart's mature Viennese period that underlines the connections between his church music and operatic style.
