C-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Leopold Mozart described KV 262, unlike Mozart's considerably shorter masses of the same period, as a 'Missa longa'. The prolixity of some of the movements and of concluding fugues in the 'Gloria' and 'Credo' is indeed surprising. The full orchestral scoring also emphasizes the ceremonial character of this Mass. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB…

When Maria Anna Mozart, known as Nannerl, was to receive piano lessons, her father gave her a music book in which he and others gradually wrote down little recital pieces. Her brother Wolfgang Amadeus soon acquired the book from his older sister. From an early age he displayed a particular talent for composing whereupon his father also wrote down his son's first works in this music book. The 'Nann…

Arr. Dizzy Stratford. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. C’est de Salzbourg l’enchanteresse, ville natale du grand Mozart, que Dizzy Stratford s’est laissé inspirer pour rendre hommage au génie musical autrichien. La courbe mélodique basée sur le célèbre Andante en Sol Majeur de Mozart est superbe, et flâne à travers plusieurs pupitres de la formation. Le fond orchestral est éthéré et délicat. / Niveau …

Kantate. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Vienna Musicians’ Society, a pension fund for the widows and orphans of professional musicians, asked Mozart, among others, to compose a choral work for performance at their benefit concert series. Presumably it was due not just to the pressure of a deadline, but also for the chance to have the music of the torso of the great C minor Mass, K. 427, performe…

Passionskantate. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Carus critical new edition is the very first edition of the Grabmusik which is based on Mozart’s separate autographs for movements 1–6, and 7–8, respectively. The fact that the final movement also contains two horn parts which have never appeared in print is an absolutely sensational discovery. Now the work may be again performed using Mozart’s las…

Ergänzt Von Robert D. Levin. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Requiem is known to the general public in the version undertaken immediately after Mozart's death by his pupil Franz Yaver Süßmayr. The attacks against Süßmayr's completion began in 1825, when the so-called 'Requiem Controversy' erupted. Over the last decade a number of musicians have attempted to cleanse the Requiem of the deficiencies…
