This review is from: V19 Large Choral Wks Beethove (Audio CD)
That's one of my favourite collections of DG's Beethoven edition.
It contains a fantastic recordings of famous and not so famous works of the greatest Compositor , Beethoven.
First the 3 cantatas are very interesting for listenning becouse the contains melodies which Beethoven use in his more famous works as Fidelio , Eroica and Egmont.
But Missa Solemnis is the best work in this collection not only becouse that mass is the greatest even written , but olso of the recording.The voice of Placido Domingo contains so passion , expecially in "Credo-Et homo factus est" that you feel that Beethoven is near you and he's talking to you.
I recommend this collection to everybody who loves classical music and of course BEETHOVEN!
