Mozart: Requiem

Mozart: Requiem
- Harmonia Mundi
- Classical
1791 was a busy year for Mozart. Already working onÂ Die ZauberflÃ¶te,Â and under deadline to deliver La Clemenza di Tito, he received a commission for a Requiem. The colorful story of what happened next is well known. Mozart's untimely death left the Requiem unfinished. After several composers were approached, it was finally completed by Franz Xaver SÃ¼ssmayr, a copyist and composer who was working with Mozart on his opera commissions. Over time SÃ¼ssmayr's version was accepted as the closest to Mozart's intentions, but it lacked in many ways. In 2016, a young French composer, Pierre-Henri Dutron, persuaded RenÃ© Jacobs to perform his own revision of SÃ¼ssmayr's Requiem completion. This new version was performed for audiences in a series of five concerts around Europe and was met with widespread acclaim. harmonia mundi is proud to present the world premiÃ©re studio recording of this version, featuring the Freiburger Barockorchester led by RenÃ©Jacobs. A bonus DVD is included.
