LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Missa Solemnis in D Major, Op. 123
This spiritual message to mankind was written during Beethoven’s last creative period, when he was almostcompletely deaf and increasingly isolated. It is music of greatemotional power that Beethoven said aimed“to awaken and permanently instill religious feelings not only into the singers but also into the listeners.”
