Beethoven considered his Missa Solemnis one of his greatest achievements, a work of profound spiritual and musical ambition.
Conducted by Andrew Manze, this performance brings together the SCO Chorus, a cast of acclaimed soloists and the full orchestra for a rare opportunity to hear Beethoven’s monumental setting of the Mass.
Written during the same period as the Ninth Symphony, the Missa Solemnis blends dramatic intensity with moments of deep introspection, pushing the boundaries of choral and orchestral writing.
