Mozart: Requiem

Nikolaus Harnoncourt calls Mozart's Requiem an 'intensely personal showdown, both scary and touching, especially for a composer who usually kept his life and art worlds apart'. This well - known recording uses a 1972 Eulenberg edition. It aims to capture Mozart's spirit by replacing the common instrumentation of Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who finished the Requiem after Mozart's passing. For its 40th anniversary, Warner Classics has remastered it in High Definition from the original tapes.

To enjoy this recording of Mozart's Requiem, simply play it on your preferred audio device like a CD player or through a digital music app. Make sure your device is in good working condition for the best sound quality. When using a CD, handle it gently to avoid scratches. For digital copies, keep your device updated to prevent any playback issues. There's no special maintenance needed for the digital version, but if you have a physical CD, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its quality over time.
