Requiem

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Chor der Wiener Staatsoper & Concentus Musicus Wien & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Requiem is a requiem mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, begun in 1791 and left unfinished at his death that year. The work blends choral and solo vocal writing with orchestral forces, featuring sombre textures, contrapuntal passages and dramatic contrasts, and it is one of the composer's final large-scale works, often referenced in discussions of late 18th-century sacred music.
First released: 1982
