Immerse yourself in the timeless genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with this captivating live album, released on November 17, 2023, by ICA Classics. This collection features three of Mozart's most celebrated works: the iconic "Requiem K. 626," the serene "Ave verum corpus K. 618," and the exuberant "Exsultate, jubilate K. 165." The album showcases a new edition of the "Requiem" meticulously prepared by Michael Ostrzyga, offering a fresh perspective on this masterpiece.
The "Requiem," composed in the final year of Mozart's life, is a profound and dramatic exploration of life, death, and the divine. This live performance captures the intensity and depth of the work, with each movement revealing the composer's unparalleled ability to convey human emotion through music. From the haunting "Dies irae" to the poignant "Lacrimosa," the "Requiem" is a journey through the soul, expertly conducted and performed by an international ensemble.
Complementing the "Requiem" are the luminous "Ave verum corpus" and the spirited "Exsultate, jubilate." The "Ave verum corpus" is a short yet profound anthem, filled with a sense of reverence and tranquility. "Exsultate, jubilate," on the other hand, is a vibrant and joyous motet that showcases Mozart's mastery of vocal writing and his ability to evoke pure exhilaration.
This album is a testament to Mozart's enduring legacy and his ability to touch the hearts of listeners across generations. Whether you are a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this live recording offers a compelling and enriching experience. With a total runtime of 1 hour and 2 minutes, it is a perfect addition to any music collection, providing a comprehensive exploration of Mozart's sacred and operatic works.
