Glacier Symphony: Beethoven's Greatest - Missa Solemnis

Description

Beethoven’s self-proclaimed greatest work, Missa Solemnis, is a heavenly and complex choral-symphonic work. Musicologist Carl Dahlhaus observed, “the concert hall was transformed into a church, and the Mass into a concert piece.” Just as a great work of architecture plays tricks with our perception of scale, Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis seems to bend time expressing both human struggle and deep spirituality.
