Wolfang Amadeus Mozart - The Complete Requiem In D Minor, K. 626

Mozart’s Requiem has been a staple of the choral repertoire since its first publication in July 1800. Yet, when Mozart died on 5 December 1791, much of the work was left unfinished. The version widely performed and recorded today is the work of Franz Xaver Süßmayr, who assisted Mozart in the final months of his life. The Requiem is a Roman Catholic mass for the dead: while it includes movements that are part of the daily mass (Kyrie, Sanctus and Agnus Dei), there are several other movements with texts of mourning and remembrance.
