About the Event

With devotion — answered Sir John Eliot Gardiner when asked how he would approach Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, a work regarded as the Mount Everest of European music.

He was saying nothing original in responding this way, given that the composer himself affixed the same performance instruction to the opening of his masterpiece, which he composed over a period of four years when already completely deaf.
