Destiny - Mozart mass in c minor

This season, for the first time, the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century stands shoulder to shoulder with the Flemish Radio Choir. Conductor Bart van Reyn leads the orchestra and choir in iconic repertoire by the greatest composers: Mozart's Mass in c minor is his most popular choral work after the Requiem, and not without reason. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is so famous that it is one of the few classical works we can point to with just the numeral. Two world-famous pieces in c minor in one concert.

And as it often goes with over-familiar works, after a while we as lovers, listeners and musicians tend to take things for granted. 'Again' Beethoven 5; But just as cliches are sometimes cliche for a reason, iconic repertoire is certainly iconic for a reason. This music, the emotion and energy in it, is second to none.

"The most sublime noise that has ever penetrated into the ear of man" wrote E.M Forster about Beethoven's Fifth, but this could just as easily have applied to the Mass in c minor. The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and the Flemish Radio Choir will let you hear just how "sublime" it really is.
