Monday night August 22 at 7:00 on the “Evening Concert” on FM 90.9 it’s “The New York Philharmonic This Week”. The featured work is Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis” conducted by Kurt Masur.  Also on the program Mendelssohn’s “Violin Concerto in E Minor” with soloist Nathan Milstein, and Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony.

Also to be heard: Prokofiev’s “Classical Symphony” and Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis”.

This late-in-life work by Beethoven is rarely heard because of the forces required to perform it and the performance challenges of the the music itself. Enjoy this concert broadcast from the NYP.
