I'm looking for a recording of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.  I have the
DG recording, conducted by James Levine, with Jesse Norman as the soprano.
I bought this disc after reading Penguin's review but found the orchestral
section overwhelmingly forceful.  Plus the powerful voice of the soprano
can be off-putting at times.  Any recommendations?

Cheers
Kar Ming
