A Prom in which Gianandrea Noseda conducts the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in Beethoven's Missa solemnis. With soprano Camilla Nylund, mezzo-soprano Birgit Remmert and tenor Stuart Skelton.

With Verity Sharp

Another chance to hear the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Gianandrea Noseda in Beethoven's Missa solemnis from the 大象传媒 Proms

Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch from the Royal Albert Hall, London

In 1819 Ludwig van Beethoven was stirred by a new creative energy. Sketched over the next four years, on specially enlarged sheets of paper, was the work Beethoven himself came to admire above all others: his grand solemn mass, the Missa solemnis. Using every means of musical imagery available, Beethoven demonstrated his supreme mastery of the orchestral-choral model in this musical glimpse of heaven. The 大象传媒 Philharmonic, along with the Hall茅 Choir and Manchester Chamber Choir, bring Beethoven's vision to life under the orchestra's dynamic Conductor Laureate, Gianandrea Noseda.
