Collegium 1704, Václav Luks: Missa solemnis in D major, op. 123 Beethoven

Beethoven do své Missy solemnis zakódoval velmi osobní přístup ke křesťanské liturgii a zároveň do ní zkoncentroval to nejlepší ze svého skladatelského mistrovství. V tom spočívá nejen nezaměnitelnost samotného díla, ale také pozoruhodný rozpor mezi autorskou sebedůvěrou i uměleckým egem na jedné straně a pokorou vůči vyšší autoritě na straně druhé. Výsledkem je skladba, která se k provozování při liturgii nehodí, ale zároveň přenáší svůj hlubší smysl kamkoliv, kde zazní. Collegium 1704 pod vedením Václava Lukse patří k nejpovolanějším interpretům, kteří se takového úkolu mohou ujmout. Beethoven nebyl první ani poslední, kdo vytvořil mimořádný opus tohoto typu – Mše h moll Johanna Sebastiana Bacha či Glagolská mše Leoše Janáčka jsou tvůrčí počiny podobného druhu. Jejich provedení má vždy punc mimořádnosti a mohutné výpovědi o vztahu génia k božskému řádu světa. Beethoven jako by se v Misse solemnis ponořil hluboko do času i do samotné hudby, částečně zapomněl na vlastní styl a přivolával umění starých vlámských mistrů polyfonie. Beethoven zkomponoval Missu solemnis v letech 1819–1823 a věnoval ji tehdejšímu olomouckému arcibiskupovi, arcivévodovi Rudolfu Janovi.

čeština

Into his Missa solemnis, Beethoven encoded a highly personal approach to the Christian liturgy, and at the same time he concentrated into it his compositional mastery at its finest. One is struck not only the uniqueness of the work itself, but also by the remarkable contradiction between the composer’s confidence and artistic ego on the one hand, and his humility before higher authority on the other. The result is a composition that is inappropriate for liturgical performance but that communicates its deep meaning wherever it is heard. Collegium 1704 and the conductor Václav Luks are among the most capable performers who could take on such a task. Beethoven was neither the first nor the last to create an extraordinary work of this type – the B Minor Mass by Johann Sebastian Bach and the Glagolitic Mass by Leoš Janáček are creative acts of a similar kind. Their performances are always a special event and a great testimony to the relationship of genius to the world’s divine order. In the Missa solemnis, it is as if Beethoven has immersed himself deeply into time and into music itself, partially forgetting his own style and evoking the artistry of the old Flemish masters of polyphony. Beethoven composed his Missa solemnis from 1819 until 1823 and dedicated it to Archduke Rudolph, Archbishop of Olomouc at the time.
