Mozart
Mass 19 'Requiem', K626 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mozart left this Requiem Mass unfinished at his death in 1791 and it was
subsequently finished by his pupil, Sussmayr. This image of a
Requiem written by a dying genius has only added to the appeal of
Mozart's last work - a Requiem which definitely treats death as a
compassionate release, rather than a terrifying punishment.

Marriner turned in a beautifully balanced performance of the Requiem
with the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, offering a bright and
energetic reading and coaxing some splendid work from his soloists,
particularly the very moving performance from soprano Sylvia McNair.
