Standing as a monument to sacred choral works, Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis is a mass setting of immense weight and scale. Lofty grandeur and heavenward serenity dance with angular leaping figures, violent dynamic contrasts weave through the delicately orchestrated massed forces, and a searching quality reflective of his own faith, that of looking beyond our understanding at a numinous God, is never far from the surface.

Regarded by Beethoven as his greatest work, his Missa Solemnis is surely a ‘bucket list’ piece to experience and marvel at for all music lovers, and with an acclaimed line up of soloists stepping up alongside the ´óÏó´«Ã½ National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales this is a performance not to be missed.
