Herbert von Karajan's iconic 1966 recording of the Missa Solemnis with the Berliner Philharmoniker and a quartet of stunning soloists - Gundula Janowitz, Christa Ludwig, Fritz Wunderlich and Walter Berry, presented in the best fidelity ever heard on record.
Newly remastered by Emil Berliner Studios and presented on Blu-ray Audio in 24bit/192kHz + 1 CD produced from the new remastering.
20-page booklet (En/De) with liner notes and photos from the original release, plus new & exclusive commentary from Gundula Janowitz remembering "Recording with Karajan".
"On Karajan's1966 recording, made in the Jesus-Christus-Kirche, both the chorus and, even more strikingly, the superbly matched quartet of soloists, convey the intensity and cohesion of Beethoven's deeply personal response to the liturgy singing radiantly."
