Mozart: Requiem - with modern world premieres:

bass solo

One of Mozart's most famous works is connected to the composer's tragically early death: it was while gravely ill on his deathbed, commissioned by a client who kept his identity a secret, that he wrote his unfinished Requiem. This funeral mass, of which several different reconstructions are known, is today one of his most frequently played works. On the other hand, many pieces in the Széchényi Library's Esterházy collection have not been performed for some 250 years. At this concert by the Purcell Choir and the Orfeo Orchestra, conducted by György Vashegyi, we will hear some of these as well, pieces composed by Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, who is also known as Beethoven's teacher.
