Even more than his Ninth Symphony, the Missa solemnis can be considered Beethoven’s largest monumental work from his last creative period. It is a spiritual message to humanity that exceeds the liturgical context by far. Intimate lyricism and tender musicality alternate with moments of highly strained complexity – a duality that is intended to express the relationship between the "earthly" and the "heavenly" which remains mysterious to the human mind.
For the Missa solemnis, Jan Caeyers and Le Concert Olymique again use their extensive expertise in the interpretation of Beethoven's instrumental and vocal music. At the same time, the production is a culmination of the successful cooperation with the Arnold Schoenberg Choir, which on its own part can look back on a long tradition of performing this music.
Jan Caeyers, Le Concert Olypique and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir are joined by an outstanding quartet of soloists: Malin Hartelis, Dame Sarah Connolly, Steve Davislim as well as Hanno Müller-Brachmann.
