  1. Symphony No 1 in C Op 21 - Ludwig van Beethoven
  2. Mass in C Op 86 - Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven’s 1st Symphony of 1801 is a sheer delight throughout. Although influenced by the style of his predecessors, Haydn and Mozart, many imaginative characteristics break new ground and foreshadow his ever more radical divergence from tradition in subsequent works such as the 1807 Mass in C.

Of this, his first Mass setting, Beethoven said: “I think I have treated the text in a manner rarely heard before.” Written during his most prolific period of creativity it certainly is unique compared with previous Mass settings such those by Haydn. Thrilling passages alternate with simpler, more emotional moments in this powerful masterpiece.
