About

Mozart’s Requiem marked both the peak and conclusion of his church music work. All of the legends surrounding the creation of this work – from Salieri‘s use of poison and the mysterious creepy visitor Mozart is supposed to have believed was the Grim Reaper himself, to Hildesheimer’s firm belief that the quill literally "fell out of his death-slackened hand” – all these 'theories' have long since been refuted by Mozart researchers.

Nevertheless, the work still has a mysterious, magical air about it, constantly fuelled by the composer’s own puzzling inscription “Requiem. I di me W:A: Mozart mpr. 1792”.

This 1955 recording features Irmgard Seefried, Gertrude Pitzinger, Kim Borg and Richard Holm with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Eugen Jochum.
