About

Franz Lachner’s Requiem in F minor was composed for the Mozart commemorative year of 1856. It is an expression of his admiration for Mozart, even through the requiem settings of both composers have little in common.
 
After almost 27 years of composing church works in a strictly acapella style, Lachner’s Mass for the Dead represents a milestone, and an exception, in his creative output and the choice of a large orchestra for the work meant that performances had to take place in a concert hall. A special tension arises from the contrast between the large orchestral ensemble, which only reveals its full effect in a few dramatic passages, and the rather introverted mood which prevails throughout most of the work.
 
World premiere recording.
