Mozart's Great Mass from Berlin

Philippe Herreweghe conducts the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra in Mozart's 'Jupiter' Symphony, and his Collegium Vocale Ghent join them for Mozart's 'Great' Mass in C minor.

Philippe Herreweghe conducts two Mozart masterpieces in Berlin.
The great Flemish period-instrument specialist brings his Collegium Vocale Ghent to the Berlin Philharmonie to perform Mozart's 'Great' Mass in C minor. The brilliant soprano Katharina Konradi gets to sing the sublime 'Et incarnatus est,' written for Mozart's wife Constanze and the choir shows off Mozart's new-found interest in the music of JS Bach in the fugues and other contrapuntal devices of the double choruses. Before this, the Berlin Symphony Radio Orchestra plays Mozart's stupendous final symphony, with its exhilarating fugal finale.
