Beethoven laboured for four years on his Missa Solemnis. "Written from the heart – that it may go to the heart", was how he described the finished masterpiece, and whatever your own beliefs, this is one of those pieces that everyone needs to hear for themselves, as one of the greatest geniuses in the history of Western art grapples with the supreme questions of human existence. The result is intensely beautiful and profoundly moving. Sir Mark Elder shares a lifetime’s experience in this performance; add the London Philharmonic Choir and a superb team of soloists and this should be an evening that will stay with you for years.
