A gala performance of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis featuring the Royal Philharmonic orchestra and the London Philharmonic Choir is to be shown Stateside by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
The 2005 concert was staged at Cologne Cathedral as part of the

by Pope John Paul II in 1984.
American maestro Sir Gilbert Levine, who is making his seventh

available on DVD, will be broadcast to almost 73m North Americans
