Beethoven, Ludwig van - Missa Solemnis - Herreweghe, Philippe (conductor)
Rosa Mannion (soprano), Birgit Remmert (mezzo), James Taylor (tenor), Cornelius Hauptmann (bass)
Chapelle Royale Choir, Collegium Vocale & Orchestre des Champs Elysees, Philippe Herreweghe
"Herreweghe has the measure of the mighty work. Everything, even the slow Kyrie, carries intense conviction. The Dona nobis, so difficult to get right, rounds off ideally a performance in which all participants seem moved by a single impulse."
(Sunday Times Records of the Year 2005)
