REQUIEM by W.A. Mozart full performance with choir, soloists and orchestra

The REQUIEM by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the most intriguing and moving classical compositions ever written. This impressive piece of music, which knows how to unite mourning and comfort in a sublime harmony, is surrounded by mystery and fascination. In music history, many composers have been inspired by this theme, but the Requiem van Mozart is without a doubt the most famous. Mozart worked on the Requiem while his health continued to deteriorate. On his deathbed, he dictated notes to his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who was ultimately responsible for the completion of the work. Het Requiem touches on universal themes: life, death, fear, comfort, and hope. Mozart knows how to capture these themes in notes with unprecedented expression. His music appeals to both believers and non-believers, because it exposes the essence of human emotions. With dramatic contrasts, rich choral parts, and soloistic emotion, the Requiem offers an intense listening experience that leaves no one untouched. Do you want to experience the power of Mozarts Requiem?
