Mozart, W A - Requiem - Jacobs, René
Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
Mozart hann som bekant aldrig skriva klart sitt Requiem. I århundraden har det varit Mozarts elev Süssmayrs fullbordade version som spelats. Men 2016 lyckades den unge franske kompositören Pierre Henri Dutron övertala dirigenten René Jacobs att testa hans nyskrivna arrangemang.
Den nya versionen gjorde stor succé under en Europaturné hösten 2016 och nu har Jacobs gjort en studioinspelning tillsammans med Freiburger Barockorchester och RIAS Kammerchor, exklusivt för Harmonia Mundi.
1791: a busy year for Mozart who, when he received a commission for a Requiem, was already working on Die Zauberflöte and had a deadline to deliver La clemenza di Tito. Everyone knows what happened next: the commission postponed, exhaustion and death, a work left unfinished and which, after several composers were approached, was finally completed by Süssmayr. This version gradually became established as the closest to Mozart’s intentions, but is not free of faulty part-writing and orchestration. In 2016 a young French composer, Pierre-Henri Dutron, persuaded René Jacobs to perform his own revision of the Requiem completed by Süssmayr. This new version was created with great success in a series of five concerts around Europe in November 2016. We now present its first studio recording, released exclusively on harmonia mundi.
