Messe in C

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique & Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Messe in C is a Mass in C major (Op. 86) by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in 1807. The work is a large-scale sacred composition for soloists, choir and orchestra that blends Classical structures with Beethoven's increasingly adventurous harmonic language and expanded orchestral colour, and it sits between his earlier church works and the later Missa Solemnis in his sacred-music output.
First released: 3rd August 1992
