Mozart: Requiem | Christoph Eschenbach, Choir Accentus & Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse

Mozart’s Requiem Mass is a work with a mythic aura. The composer wrote it just months before he died, and it has since become the music of mourning par excellence. In this performance of the Requiem Mass in D minor, K. 626, conducted by Christoph Eschenbach, the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse plays, the Choir Accentus sings, and the vocal soloists are Katharina Konradi (soprano), Stéphanie d'Oustrac (mezzo-soprano), Giovanni Sala (tenor) and Ildebrando d'Arcangelo (bass-baritone). The performance took place in 2023 in the Marcadieu Hall in Tarbes, France. 00:00 Applause 00:29 I. Introitus: Requiem aeternam 05:47 II. Kyrie 08:38 III. Sequentia: a. Dies irae 10:40 III.

It was commissioned by Count Franz von Walsegg, but Mozart was unable to complete the requiem mass, as he died on December 5, 1791, after a short, serious illness. His widow, Constanze Mozart (1762-1842), commissioned his pupils Joseph Eybler (orchestration) and Franz Xaver Süssmayr (orchestration and completion or new composition of individual movements) to finish it. It is likely that other composers worked on the completion of the Mass for the Dead. The premiere of the complete work took place on January 2, 1793, in Jahn's Hall in Vienna, where Mozart had performed as a pianist for the last time on March 4, 1791. It was organized by Mozart's patron Gottfried van Swieten as part of a benefit concert for Constanze Mozart and her children. It was not until December 14, 1793, that it was performed for the first time in the collegiate church of the Neukloster Abbey in Wiener Neustadt, which corresponded to the actual purpose of the work: as a Mass for the soul of the deceased Countess Walsegg. The main key of the Requiem is D minor, the so-called “tragic” key, which was used by Mozart and other composers for subjects related to death and the afterlife. In the structure of the Requiem, Mozart and his pupils adhered to the usual textual form of a Requiem and merely refrained from setting the Gradual and Tractus to music, as is the case in most musical arrangements. An interesting effect is created by the instrumentation: the orchestra lacks the high woodwinds, and Mozart uses two basset horns instead. This has the effect of darkening the orchestral sound, creating a somber mood. The Requiem has long conquered popular culture. Individual movements — especially the “Dies irae” and the “Lacrimosa” — have been used repeatedly in commercials and films, for example in “Eyes Wide Shut,” “The Big Lebowski” or “The Lion King,” and of course in the Mozart biopic “Amadeus.” The Requiem is also popular in the world of video games. It is one of the main themes in “Onimusha 3: Demon Siege” and is used in the trailer for “Command & Conquer 2.” There has also been a game for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC called “Mozart Requiem” since 2022. © 2023 EuroArts Music International Watch more concerts in your personal concert hall:    • LISTEN AND WATCH - your personal concert hall   and in our Mozart playlist:    • BEST OF MOZART   Subscribe to DW Classical Music:    / dwclassicalmusic   #mozart #requiem #mozartrequiem
