One of the best-known masses in the Western art music repertoire and an event not to be missed. Beethoven originally intended to compose his mass for the enthronement of his patron, Archduke Rudolf of Austria, as Archbishop of Ölmütz. However, it was not until three years later, in March 1823, that he completed the score, annotated: 'From the heart, may it return to the heart'. The rhythmic contrast and the expressive rending of the text are windows into the composer's emotions. In this time of health crisis, Riccardo Muti chose this grandiose mass to sow confidence and happiness.

20th century masterpieces take centre stage in the first of two Camerata Salzburg concerts at the Salzburg Festival in 2020. A leading conductor of 20th century music and a frequent guest in Salzburg for many years, Ingo Metzmacher, celebrated for his interpretations of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's “Die Soldaten” and Wolfgang Rihm's “Dionysos” joins forces with Patricia Kopatchinskaja, probably one of the most refreshing and profound violinists with an eye for the substantial. Together they devote themselves to the works of Ligeti and Kurtag and span an arc from modernism to romanticism with works by Franz Schubert, including arrangements by the violinist.
