Beethoven Missa Solemnis - BBC Symphony Orchestra - Bernard Haitink (RAH, 1997)

0:00:00 Radio commentary 0:06:05 Beethoven Missa Solemnis This performance was given as the opening night Prom of the 1997 BBC Proms Season on 18 July 1997 in the Royal Albert Hall, London. You can already find this performance on YouTube (in 2 parts) in case you prefer it (here    • Beethoven-Missa Solemnis pt.1 Haitink, Pro...   and here    • Beethoven - Missa Solemnis pt.2 - Haitink,...  ). These are TV relays and although I cannot supply any video, the sound quality in general provided by BBC Radio 3 is I feel slightly better than the TV feed. Whichever one you listen to or watch I do hope you enjoy the performance.

None of the recordings is derived from a commercial release, nor are they of commercial sound quality. No payment is sought for listening to these recordings, I am sharing them in the hope that they may give pleasure to other music lovers, as they have given pleasure to me.
