Conductor Bernard Haitink, of whom the BR-Klassik label has already released several recordings, has now been connected with the Bavarian Radio Symphony for more than 55 years. Following Bruckner's Fifth, Mahler's Ninth and Haydn's ‘Creation’, BR-Klassik now presents a live recording of Beethoven's ‘Missa Solemnis’ – the very first and only Haitink-led ‘Missa Solemnis’ on the market. His musical partners include the Bavarian Radio Symphony and Choir as well as a finely coordinated ensemble of soloists – Genia Kühmeier, Elisabeth Kulman, Mark Padmore and Hanno Müller-Brachmann.
