Beethoven: Missa solemnis, Op. 123


24 FLAC Discount

Written between 1818 and 1823, the result of intensive theological and musical research in the library of its dedicatee, Archduke Rudolph of Austria, the Missa solemnis is, in Beethoven's own view, his most ambitious composition. In this recording, René Jacobs shows us that it is also his loftiest, the work of a composer with deeply held religious sentiments and profound tenderness for humanity, so confident in his artistry that he could create a work that goes beyond liturgical form and expresses in musical terms the universality of divine transcendence.

Composée entre 1818 et 1823, fruit de recherches théologiques et musicales passionnées dans la bibliothèque de l'archiduc d'Autriche, auquel elle est dédiée, la Missa solemnis est, selon Beethoven lui-même, sa composition la plus ambitieuse. Dans cet enregistrement, René Jacobs nous montre que c'est aussi son œuvre la plus élevée, expression de la foi profonde d'un compositeur tendre pour l'humanité et sûr de son art au point de créer une œuvre qui dépasse la forme liturgique et impose musicalement l'universalité de la transcendance divine.
