Movie Reviews of Herbert von Karajan: Beethoven - Missa Solemnis in D Major, Op. 123Movie Review: An adequate, but not outstanding, performance Summary: 3 StarsFull disclosure: I prefer dramatic choral works performed with a full range of tempi, with singing devoted to pitch accuracy, rather than excessive vibrato and overly dramatic arrivals at the correct pitch. With these biases in mind, I was disappointed in this performance. Overall, the musical performance is good, and the recording and videography are both excellent. However, the slower movements (Kyrie, Sanctus, and Benedictus) are performed at a faster tempo than I prefer, and, in my opinion, lose much of their potentially-excruciating beauty as a result. I also did not enjoy the performances of the soprano and tenor soloists, who in my opinion brought operatic excess to parts that sound better when performed with less vibrato and greater accuracy in intonation. I guess I'll just continue to listen to my Robert Shaw CD.
