About

Recorded live at Concertgebouw Amsterdam on 14-16 September 2011.

During his last years in Vienna Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed only three liturgical works: the short 'Ave Verum Corpus' and two unfinished masterworks: the 'Mass in C minor' and the 'Requiem' in D minor. Most of his sacred oeuvre was written at an early age in the conservative city of Salzburg. The 'Requiem' from 1791 is stylistically far removed from that early church music and suits the concert hall better than the church.

Chief conductor Mariss Jansons leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Choir and a stellar vocal quartet, featuring Genia Kühmeier, Bernarda Fink, Mark Padmore and Gerald Finley in an intense reading of Mozart's last masterpiece.

August 2014

a fine and worthwhile performance...It is what could be described as a 'choral society' Requiem: the approach is by and large traditional, the edition used the standard Sussmayr. The cast of soloists could barely be equally and the Netherlands Radio Choir are well disciplined.

blessed … beautifully and grievingly sung.

July 2014

This is a most exciting disc and a model of sensitive music making… I have reviewed discs of the Flora label before, and musically all of them were outstanding. That goes for this disc as well.

10th August 2014

It’s surely not just familiarity and habit that make the so-called Süssmayr completion of Mozart’s Requiem seem more convincing than any of the dutiful, diligent efforts of modern musicologists...Listening to this vivid live performance I felt not “if only” but “how beautiful”.
