Missa Solemnis
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Herbert Blomstedt & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig & Simone Schneider & Gerhild Romberger & Richard Croft & Jochen Kupfer
Missa Solemnis is a solemn mass in D major by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1823. The work is a large-scale sacred choral and orchestral composition featuring dense contrapuntal writing, dramatic dynamic contrasts and expansive symphonic textures, and it occupies a central place in Beethoven's late period as an example of his expansion of liturgical form through symphonic techniques.
