Beethoven's Missa solemnis was performed on 13 and 14 February 2010 at the traditional memorial concert to commemorate the bombardment of Dresden during the last weeks of World War II. Under Christian Thielemann, the Staatskapelle Dresden proved itself exceptionally qualified to master this work's magnificent challenges. Thielemann "conjured up the gigantic cosmos of the Missa with such lightness and grace that its mystery seemed to reveal itself," wrote the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. No less remarkable was the fabulously homogeneous solo quartet formed of Krassimira Stoyanova, Elina Garanča, Michael Schade and Franz-Josef Selig.
