Mozart's Requiem

The ultimate masterpiece!

What is genius? Perhaps to write, in a single summer, three symphonies that will mark the history of music and will be played tirelessly long after their composition in 1788... The first opus of this dazzling trio, Mozart's Symphony No. 39, alternates between insouciance and gravity, and in it one encounters, like a vigorous spectre, a few motifs from the Don Giovanni composed shortly before. Three years later, in 1791, Mozart began work on a major work, the now mythical Requiem - which he was unable to complete and which would become an inexhaustible object of speculation and legend after his death...

It is this ultimate Mozart at the height of his creative power that Hervé Niquet, Le Concert Spirituel and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris celebrate with two very lively anthology works.
