Mozart: Requiem Mass in D minor, K. 626 (50 min)
Recorded live at Grieghallen in 6 October 2017 with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra

Requiem Mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who composed a part of the Requiem in 1791 in Vienna but it was unfinished at his death on 5 December the same year. It was completed in 1792 by Franz Xaver Süssmayr. Mozart's Requiem is a choral masterpiece whose genesis is shrouded in mystery – one that makes the piece all the more fascinating and emotionally stirring.
