Requiem & Coronation Mass – WA Mozart
Mozart’s Requiem became known to the general public through the film ‘Amadeus’ and is perhaps the most impressive work by this young composer. Mozart wrote it just before his own death, commissioned by an anonymous client. The Requiem evokes feelings of mourning, fear and sadness. But at the same time also hope, light and beauty.
Krönungsmesse
The festive Krönungsmesse shows a completely different Mozart. At the coronation of the king of Bohemia, the archbishop stipulated that the mass should not last longer than 25 minutes. Despite, or perhaps precisely because of this limitation, the mass radiates vitality and energy.
