MISSA SOLEMNIS

Program

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Missa solemnis

1h20 sans entracte

With his Missa Solemnis, Ludwig van Beethoven didn’t just compose a mass for the ordination as cardinal of his former student, the archduke Rodolphe. Its monumental dimension (four soloists, a choir, an organ, a grand orchestra), its vision and its breathless rhythm position this piece beyond the boundaries of liturgy to reach a universal form of spirituality. accentus will give this magnificent piece its full dimension.
