Do you like Beethoven? Especially when he combines choir and solo singers with orchestra, like the last movement of the 9th symphony? Then you'll love this.

@voltronic Saw this live once...in the front seats. Awesome!
@jaunty
Holy hell. Seeing this up close could singe your eyebrows off. Or you'd look like the Memorex Man.
The loudest classical concert experience of my life was the Verdi Requiem, and I was in the choir just behind the brass and percussion. When that Dies Irae hit, BOOM!
@voltronic 🤣🤣 I knew going in that I wanted a “total immersion” in this piece, which I have loved for years. I was literally blown into another state of consciousness! True bliss. I almost felt like I was conducting it...
@voltronic Yes! Beethoven’s Mass is a somewhat neglected choral masterwork! 🎶 Highly recommended!
