Network with Singers Around the Globe!
NEW FROM THE SOLI DEO GLORIA COLLECTION / IDÉALE AUDIENCE
Soli Deo Gloria joyously releases to the world two new DVDs of sacred masterworks, filmed live in concert: Beethoven's rarely heard Missa Solemnis and Haydn's beloved oratorio, The Creation (Die Schöpfung), conducted by John Nelson.
A Feast for Your Eyes and Ears!
BEETHOVEN
Missa Solemnis
John Nelson, conductor
Tamara Wilson, soprano
Elizabeth DeShong, alto
Nikolai Schukoff, tenor
Brindley Sherratt, bass
Gulbenkian Choir
Chamber Orchestra of Europe
Filmed live in the Grand Auditorium of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation,
Lisbon, Portugal. Directed by Rhodri Huw.
Soli Deo Gloria's DVD of the Missa Solemnis shines a supreme light on this rarely performed sacred masterpiece. Beethoven wrote that “music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks & invents,” and this DVD beautifully brings to life the composer's spiritual intent "to awaken and permanently instill religious feelings, not only in the singers, but also in the listeners."
"The Missa Solemnis, which Beethoven considered the crown of his music, may be the greatest piece most listeners never hear."—Jan Swafford, composer and author
“Everything about the creation of the Missa Solemnis DVD was thrilling. We professionals who spend our lives making music are blessed to do what we do. But it is not every day that we experience everything coming together in a kind of perfection. This was that day.”—John Nelson, conductor
HAYDN
The Creation (Die Schöpfung)
John Nelson, conductor
Lisa Milne, soprano
Werner Güra, tenor
Matthew Rose, bass
Lucy Crowe, soprano
Jonathan Beyer, bass
The Netherlands Radio Choir
The Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic
Filmed live at the Grote Kerk, Naarden, Netherlands. Directed by Rhodri Huw.
Filmed in the beautiful setting of Grote Kerk, one of the oldest churches in the Netherlands, Haydn's musical portrait of the mystery of Creation comes alive under the direction of John Nelson in Soli Deo Gloria's DVD. The acoustics of the venue make the music sound magical, and the results are a magnificent Creation.
"Wow. What a magical performance. Great voices, wonderful sound. Visually strong. Exquisite music making all around."—an audience member from the live webcast
“I don’t think there is any composer who had more of a sense of humor than Haydn. He was just naturally given to fun, to joy, to humor… and you find it all in this music.”—John Nelson, conductor
