Concert Information

Of all his own works, Beethoven admired one more than any other: his grand solemn mass in music, the Missa solemnis. When the composer started to write the piece in 1819, he sensed a new energy flowing through him. Four years later, on specially enlarged sheets of paper, he had succeeded in setting down his musical vision of the divine using every means of sonic imagery available to him. Brought to life, Beethoven鈥檚 score represents his most intense and uplifting live concert experience.

Donald Runnicles conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra for this performance with stunning soloists and the 大象传媒 Symphony Chorus.
