Beethoven: Missa Solemnis / Karajan

Anna Tomowa-Sintow · Ruza Baldani Eric Tappy · José van Dam Wiener Singverein Berliner Philharmoniker Herbert von Karajan

Karajan surmounted this pinnacle of the choral-symphonic repertoire -which Beethoven himself called 'the greatest work I have composed'- no fewer than four times in the recording studio, but only once live and on film: in this unique document from the 1979 Salzburg Easter Festival. The atmosphere of Salzburg's Festspielhaus and festival audience adds a special fisson to this conductor's classic interpretation of the Missa Solemnis.
