Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
"Grosse Fuge" in B flat major, Op. 133 arranged for orchestra
Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)
Mass No. 3 in F minor for soloists, chorus and orchestra, WAB 28
'I know only two Masses: this one and Beethoven's Missa solemnis.' Thus the conductor Johann von Herbeck enthused in June 1872 after the première of Anton Bruckner's F-minor Mass. This work gave Bruckner one of his earliest and most lasting successes: Liszt and Brahms, both seated in the audience, were impressed, and even the dreaded critic Eduard Hanslick, later Bruckner's arch enemy, deigned to write a favourable review. Daniel Harding, the principal conductor of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra every year since Lucerne’s 2003 summer festival, will conduct the F-minor Mass, finding just the right tone for its strains of humble piety, rock-solid faith and hymnic praise of God. After all, he has a Bruckner orchestra par excellence in the Bavarian RSO, which, in the 60 years of its existence, has excelled time and time again with definitive performances of this composer, especially during its years under the Bruckner specialist Eugen Jochum.
