Beethoven: Missa Solemnis in D major, Op. 123

Recorded live at the Barbican Hall, London, October 2012

Lucy Crowe (soprano), Jennifer Johnston (mezzo), James Gilchrist (tenor), Matthew Rose (bass)

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique & Monteverdi Choir, Sir John Eliot Gardiner

“Performed to perfection and brought into new, terrifying life” – The Times *****

“A daringly coloured account, exuberant physicality... There was hardly a passage that did not show the result of Gardiner’s hallmark intelligence and audacity” – The Guardian *****

“Nothing short of rapid-fire choral entries will do, and the Monteverdi sopranos duly shone in their ecstatic embrace of the stratosphere –The Financial Times *****

This album was recorded live at the Barbican in 2012. It features soloists Lucy Crowe (soprano), Jennifer Johnston (mezzo), James Gilchrist (tenor), Matthew Rose (bass). Sir John Eliot Gardiner offers a daring reading of this piece. The ORR’s performance on period instruments is virtuosic and colourful; the Monteverdi Choir contributes arresting chorus parts. Composed “from the heart”, Beethoven’s epic Mass has been described a statement of highly personal religious faith. It is rarely heard in concert due to the large forces required and the exacting demand it places on all performers.

The album is packaged in a digipack and contains a 36-page booklet with original notes by BBC presenter and music journalist Stephen Johnson.
