Prom 67 - Beethoven's Missa Solemnis
A Prom in which Colin Davis conducts leading soloists, the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and London Philharmonic Choir in Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.
With John Shea
Sir Colin Davis tackles Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, the work which the composer considered to be his supreme achievement in music. The London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and London Philharmonic Choir scale the heights and depths and they are joined by soloists, soprano Helena Juntunen, mezzo Sarah Connolly, tenor Paul Groves, and bass Matthew Rose.
The Missa Solemnis seems to skirt the boundaries of whether it is music made for the concert hall or the church. "My chief aim was to awaken and permanently instill religious feelings not only into the singers but also into the listeners," Beethoven himself wrote of the work.
