Performance NotesCelebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Monteverdi Choir returns to the Proms with its founder-conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner for one of the greatest of all choral works – Beethoven's mighty setting of the Mass.

It's a work the choir has performed throughout its history, most recently in a second acclaimed recording.

The unique atmosphere of a Late Night Prom is the perfect setting for this tumultuous spiritual journey, in which we acknowledge doubt and search for redemption.

The concert was recorded and broadcast on BBC Four on 5 September 2014.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

There was no interval.
