In Reply to: What's your favourite Beethoven's Missa Solemnis? posted by kuma on November 30, 2012 at 15:15:28:
. . . I thought Thielemann did well with the Missa Solemnis - not least because of the mezzo-soprano part as sung by Elina Garanca (the blond in the picture below). I also had a DVD I liked with the Dresden Staatskapelle conducted by Fabio Luisi - but the soundtrack was lossy. There was also a good DVD-Audio recording of the work with Marc Soustrot conducting on the MDG label (although I'll never understand that label's compatibility claims for its 2+2+2 multi-channel recordings!). Of the more standard recommendations, I like the Giulini EMI recording.
