Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Mass in C major (1807) - Agnus Dei (Dona nobis pacem)
New Philharmonia Chorus and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Carlo Maria Giulini
Beethoven wrote his Mass to a commission from Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II in 1807. In fulfilling this commission, Beethoven was extending a tradition established by Joseph Haydn, who following his return from England in 1795 had composed one mass per year for the Esterházy family, to celebrate the name day of the Prince’s wife, Maria Josepha Hermenegilde. Haydn had ceased this tradition with the failure of his health in 1802. Sad to know that Prince Nikolaus did not appreciate this composition. (via Wikipedia)
