Summary
Jeffrey Skidmore conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Ex Cathedra in Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis at Symphony Hall, featuring soloists Carolyn Sampson, Martha McLorinan, Sebastian Hill and James Rutherford.
Why it's fantastic
Beethoven considered this colossal choral masterpiece his finest achievement, even surpassing the more famous ninth symphony in its emotional scale. This ninety-minute journey pushes every singer to their absolute limit, creating an atmosphere of raw, human intensity that remains one of the most powerful experiences in the entire orchestral repertoire.
