This is exceptional. There are certainly many different valid ways to perform the Missa solemnis, but it's hard to imagine they will surpass this outstanding version...The Royal Concertgebouw is on absolutely top form...As for the soloists, it is hard to recall a Solemnis quartet who blend so well while retaining their mesmeric individuality.
4th October 2013
there are many well-known and highly respected performances of Beethoven’s choral masterpiece available on CD, including Harnoncourt’s earlier performance, but I cannot imagine any surpassing this new one especially when it comes to the visual medium.
