Ludwig van Beethoven: Messe C-Dur (ut majeur)

In a belated celebration of his 250th birthday, the Richard Wagner Association of Trier and Luxembourg honours Ludwig van Beethoven with a special concert. Richard Wagner considered Beethoven his most important musical role model. The concert aims to give insights into the broad intellectual horizons of Beethoven’s music, which always conveys a message beyond its classical aesthetics. In the Third Leonore Overture and the Egmont Overture, the ideals of the French revolution are invoked: freedom for oppressed humanity. The Choral Fantasy represents the esteem for art held by German Idealism. And finally, Beethoven’s Mass in C-major demonstrates Beethoven’s bond with Christian tradition.
