John Eliot Gardiner enlightens with Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in Orange County

Matthew Richard Martinez, 19th November

Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis is an odd piece. Despite having a rich recorded legacy, it is not a piece that one encounters often in the concert hall. The technical challenges of this music are up there with virtually any other piece of combined music for choir and orchestra.
