Beethoven

Thursday, October 25, 2012

Beethoven regarded the Missa solemnis as his crowning achievement, a personal expression on the brotherhood of mankind and the fragility of peace. It remains an Everest in the choral repertory, demanding both passion and intensity from its singers, while also containing some of Beethoven's most sublime music, not least its opening Kyrie. Internationally known for his Beethoven interpretations, former Principal Conductor Bernard Haitink joins the CSO for this profound work.

Please note: There will be no intermission during this program.
