What I find sad is that Mozart died just when he was finally breaking out of his simpler Style Galant phase, partly due to his discovery of Bach's music when Mozart was 25 or so. Imagine if he had lived to 50 or 60!

My God, the f minor entry in the Tuba Mirum at 9:52 , its just makes me speachless!

25:53 "Don't call me marmalade, call me Cici" :)

12:20 - When the class pet runs away and the whole choir has to go looking for him

If God allows me to be in heaven, I want Mozart's music to surround me.

"Displace one note, and there would be diminishment" Antonio Salieri This sentence tells us everyting we need to know about this music

I love him. His music is just heavenly, brilliant and beautiful. I never knew a human being so spiritual and close to Godliness. He is God's gift to the music world. There is so much depth and emotion. I think he is more than genius. I love him.

I'm agnostic almost atheist but Mozart truly makes me wonder if there is a god, how can a mere human compose such beautiful sounding music is beyond my comprehension.

The Requiem of Mozart is a true treasure to the testament of humanity! To even think that Mozart passed away after composing till 22:59 but had drafted the Lacrimosa movement is stunning! I once read a story about the day of the Requiem - "On the very eve of his death, [Mozart] had the score of the Requiem brought to his bed, and himself (it was two o'clock in the afternoon) sang the alto part; Schack, the family friend, sang the soprano line, as he had always previously done, Hofer, Mozart's brother-in-law, took the tenor, Gerl, later a bass singer at the Mannheim Theater, the bass. They were at the first bars of the Lacrimosa when Mozart began to weep bitterly, laid the score on one side, and eleven hours later, at one o'clock in the morning (of 5 December 1791, as is well known), departed this life." (from the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung news "magazine") I love this piece! Thank you so much for sharing!

Such a magnificent work of art. I can't even imagine how this work could be even better but we all know if Mozart lived to complete it, he'd have found a way! Amazing recording. Gardiner has a way with interpretation.

For choristers like myself, these videos are priceless. This is not the first one I've used to help me learn and practice, I'm sure it will not be my last. Thank you very much for your efforts - they are truly appreciated!

one of the best interpretations of the requiem in my opinion

just listening to the music&staring at the KZfaq title inevitably makes me question why do I deserve ever living on the same planet with him

Wolfie played his Viola and directed at the same time. I studied a ton of his work in college looking for his Viola concertos. He played them often with his orchestra but not a single Viola concerto exists. I postulated that Viola solos were not big sellers then as now and a severe shortage of toilet paper... He played any one of his French Horn, Bassoon, Clarinet and Violin concerti at any given time, he just always called it his, Viola concerto.

I don't think there's a single more terrifying piece than Mozart's Confutatis Maledictis. It gives me chills every time I hear it!

No soy amante de la música clásica y pensé que no la podría escuchar entera, pero la obra es muy buena.

19:02 I remembered this in Amadeus.

Best Requiem ever! I listen from beginning to end.

Takes me back to singing this in school. Loved it then and now. Bass, if you wondered.

We'll never see a musical genius like Mozart in our time nor anytime beyond.

Thank you again for an incredible recording mated with a wonderfully synced vocal score. These are invaluable when I'm listening at work and trying to learn the music.

What a masterpiece indeed... This man is truly da Vinci of music

Após ouvir o Requiem, consegui perceber a grandeza e a dimensão da obra de Mozart no planeta 🌎

I would say this is probably by favourite piece of music of all time. I often find myself enjoying masses and requiems, although I do not adhere to the faith of Christianity, mainly as a result of the beauty of the juxtaposition of orchestra and choir. And there are great pieces in this category, such as Bach's Mass and Handel's "Messiah," but absolutely nothing approaches the emotional depth of this masterpiece. Every single movement is incredible in its own right, but if I had to chose the three best in my opinion, they would be the famous "Dies Irae," of course, "Confutatis maledictis" and "Domine Jesu Christe." Thank you for uploading!

Thank you for uploading this! It is making learning the alto solo much easier! ❤

Thank you so very much for uploading the music score. To be able to follow note by note is such delight. Wonderful deed you gifted us all by taking the time to do it. It breaks my heart to think of Mozart's physical and emotional distress at the time of his death while creating such an awe-inspiring musical jewel. My favorite music score, no doubt God spoke through Mozart's music. I try to follow it very carefully and join in Mozart's breath-taking plea to God.

Some people emphasize the fact that Mozart died leaving the requiem unfinished, and that it was finished by other composers. The fact is, 2/3 of the requiem was finished by Mozart. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8VgqqWF0NG4Z4k.html) And Sussmayer and others used material from Mozart's earlier masses to finish the requiem. Compare Spatzenmesse in C K220: Gloria with Requiem K626: Agnus Dei . (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNlyeMWIt8fWdJs.html) Compare Spatzenmesse in C K220: Credo with Requiem K626: Lacrimosa . (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNlyeMWIt8fWdJs.html) Compare Mass in C minor K427: Sanctus with Requiem K626: Sanctus . (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a56ofcpetNjan30.html) Compare Misericordias Domini in D minor K222 with Levin's completion of Requiem K626: Amen. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZqAhLWTp9SXf30.html) (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa2XZaSo3rS-cWg.html)

there is nothing heart arresting like classical music. In fact, it points back to the time of the creation when seeing all He created, God exclaimed; it is beautiful. classical music is beautiful beyond normal beauty

magnificant recording - whereby you hear obviously that Mozart was greatly impressed by Michael Haydns Requiem because he and Leopold Mozart performed it as a musician

There are no words to describe the profound intensity of this music. Wow. Thank you.

I'm sheltering in place due to corona virus. As of 3/27/20 650 thousands of people infected, over 30 thousands dead and no end in sight. Gyms, theaters, concert halls, movies, sport events are shut down and we are not supposed to congregate. Mozart and especially this requiem makes isolation livable. He is a true genius.

Just a quick correction, the solo tenor that participated in this specific recording was Anthony Rolfe Johnson (1940-2010) and the solo bass was Alastair Miles.

Bach and Mozart are the composer i like most.I admit to hear most Bach.But this and the magic flute and g-moll sinfonie are really absolute master works.

2:50 is so beautiful

tThe greatest art is when the artist makes the utterly most tragic to feel good and enjoyable . I think I must have fallen in love with Mozart in forever

Close to godliness! The best music ever written along with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

After hearing only a few lines, I could tell this is an excellent orchestra/choir.

Süßmayr did a great job to finish worthily such a masterly requiem of such a master!

I'm stunned with Domine Jesu part, fugue Quam Olim Abrahae - genius

Fantástico! Este Requiem em ré menor das melhores execuções de Mozart!

I LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH!!

Happy 266th Birthday, Mozart! 1/27/22 🎉🥳

For anyone wondering, anything up to the "Offertorium" can be considered authentic mozart. After that, it gets greyer and greyer.

20:20 The most beautiful moment in my opinion

Every time the music comes near to the end of the page, I keep instinctively lifting my hand to turn the page.

great combination of singers! love Bonney! but this tempo seemed a bit fast

GREAT so very wondrous! & he died so young!!! So fun to have the notes too!

amei as partituras!!!! obrigada!!! viva Mozart!!!

Absolutely the bestest performance! The interpretation and articulation are absolutely brilliant!!

Quanto può essere grande l'anima dell'uomo e nello stesso tempo quali abissi, obnubilato, può raggiungere.

obrigado por essa linda e magnífica publicação

0:00 was the part you came for

Mozart is the best compositor! Requiem is my favourite composition

rex tremende and lacrimosa will forever be my fav part of the requiem

Consigned to flames of War. Do you believe in it? A fire which Never Dies burning you forever? Oh yes.

Re comments on speed, I guess its as much a matter of what you're used to as anything else. Have known this particular recording since it was first issued and am very happy with the tempo.

Movements after Kyrie sound kind of Süss ....

Dies- Irae as an English Rhyme 7:15 - Did I see you, did I see you? So strict so; The lava fills up, Mister Daddy say "comin' billed you" 7:32 - Quantum, tremor, rest to ruse. Quantum, just adventures. Count the strict this cuz so ruse. 7:48 - Did I see you, did I see you? So strict so; The lava fills up, Mister Daddy say "comin' billed you" 8:03 - Quantum, tremor, rest to ruse. Quantum, just adventures. Count the strict this cuz so ruse. 8:18 - { Quantum, tremor, rest to ruse.} ( Did I see you, did I see you?) 2x 8:29 - {Quantum, tremor, rest to ruse. } 8:33 - Quantum, tremor, rest to ruse. Quantum, just adventures. Count the strict this cuz so ruse. 8:44 - [Count the strict], [Count the strict ]. Strict this cuz so ruse. 2x

Ending Lacrimosa on a plagal cadence rather than a fugue was a huge missed opportunity for Süßmayr. So many modern completions used an Amen fugue discovered in the 60s.

And to think he died before he could ever finish this. Could you imagine what it would have been if he did? I especially cry knowing he only wrote the first 8 bars of Lacrimosa and then nothing else. It's sublime as it is, but what it could have been had Mozart finished, or at least sketched it... The rest was added, first by Eybler, and then completed by Sussmayr in 1792. It was Sussmayr, and not Mozart, who wrote the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, although it's said that with Mozart's notes and directions. Mozart left the essence, in sum. A very sublime, exquisite skeleton on which others, since his death, have only made versions of. Very beautiful versions, nonetheless.

i know domine jesu was not written by mozart at all -seeing that he died before even finished lacrimosa- but let me tell you.... its absolutely heavenly!

Maravilloso, gracias...

Perfect rendition and performances.

very instructive video score. my deepest thanks.

I’m just a soprano but this is a hella bass part.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't get what's so good about this. Like, it's good, don't get me wrong, but I don't understand why everyone is claiming that God was speaking through Mozart with this piece or that Mozart was God's gift to music or whatever. It just doesn't hit me. I'll admit I'm not even one for classical music, but as music composition is my goal, I wanted to look into the classical side of music and step out of my comfort zone. After playing FGO, Salieri's design and backstory caught my eye and he quickly became my favorite servant. I wanted to learn more about him, so I listened to his Requiem and I love that. It hits me the way I think this piece hits other people. Could someone please point out the parts they find particularly touching? There are some parts I really like, such as the Lacrimosa, but apparently Mozart only wrote the 1st 8 bars of that piece. I'd also like some recommendations for other pieces if anyone could provide those. Thank you.

The most badass introductory classical piece - rivalling Bach's St John passion intro and Beethoven's 5th -- is the double fugue at 4:44

Ah Mozart! Not enough notes!!!

Damn... that Dies Irae.. just... damn

Bravo, braaaavooooooo, thank you.

21:18 lacrimosa

Perfect Interpretation, thanks!

This is the one piece Chopin requested to be played at his funeral in 1849. Some churches didn't allow females to sing, so when they did for this piece they had to be hidden behind a curtain

1. Requiem aeternam - начало 0:11 , тема фуги 0:53 2. Dies Irae 7:17 3. Tuba mirum - начало (тромбон) 9:03 , ариозо солистов 9:29 4. Rex tremendae 12:11 5. Recordare 14:22 6. Confutatis 19:04 , переход 20:19 7. Lacrimoso 21:20

If you die and hear this music you know you have made it to heaven........ God created Mozart for his own listening pleasure, hope your soul rose from your paupers grave Mozart straight up to heaven. This you deserve for uplifting millions with your music ......

Although the accompaniment is only a piano reduction, this is still very well done. Thanks for uploading!

Mozart apparently was approach’d by Count Walsegg Von Stupoach through his ‘Dracula-like’ lawyer Sortschen on the 1st or 2nd of August 1791 with Scrittura in hand for a Requiem for 50 Dukaten ‘to be perform’d by 14 Feb 1792’ (the anniversary of his 20-year old wife’s death earlier in the year.) M. explain’d to Sortschen that he was given another Scrittura from the Bohemian Estates in Prague for a Coronation Opera for Leopold II to be perform’d on the 6th of September that year (he was finally given the contract for 200 Dukaten on 22 July 1791 by the impresario Guardasoni in person after approaching Salieri no less than 3 times the week before) and that his Singspiel for Schicaneder was also in need of last minute touch ups before 30 September - so that the earliest he could start would be 1 October 1791-which is approx the date of the 12-staff Berlin skizze scribbles fragment discover’d in 1960 (2 staff lines have since been removed at the bottom) shewing pieces of the Overtura to Die Zauberfloete & a snippet of the Rex Tremendae along with a 4 part 16-bar incipit of an Amen Fugue in d-minor in 3/8 time to follow the Lacrymosa...Suessmayr (who later completed Mozart’s unfinish’d fragment as best he could by 4 March 1792 bas’d on fragments like the Berlin Sketch and from hearing M. playing to him the end of the Lacrymosa, the Sanctus/Benedictus/Hossanas & Agnus Dei sections in November when he was still able to work (he fell ill on 20 Nov 1791 & probably did not commit much to writing after that-he got as far as the Lacrymosa bar 8-although he had already more or less finish’d the Domine Jesu & Hostias movements (with the qual olim fugato) sometime earlier -presumably the Lacrymosa caus’d him some pains - in rehearsing the vocal performances parts with his friends Gerl & Schak he broke down (c. 3pm on 4 Dec 1791) in sobs & ask’d to be left alone with Suessmayr so he could guide him in the orchestration if he should die (& leave Constanza with the task of getting it completed)...before he fell into his final coma, his sister in law Sophie Haibl remember’d seeing M. puffing out his cheeks emulating Trumpets & Drums explaining to Suessmayr the recapitulation of the Lacrymosa’s main theme ‘fortissimo’ for the reprise of the words ‘Lacrymosa ! Dies Illa !’ which Suessmayr illogically set to the words ‘Dona ! Eis ! Requi ! Em !’ (surely not Mozart’s intention) & ignoring the fugal Amen Sketch & tacking on a tasteless Plagal Cadence (‘Amen !’) in D-major...fortunately there are a number of competent modern musicologists who have at least attempted to complete the d-minor fugue (e.g. Maunder, Levin etal.) with somewhat mix’d success - we will leave it to future generations of AI computeris’d composers to tease out a workable completion now that the Age of Aquarius (Mozart’s sun-sign) has finally arriv’d-in the meantime we have in this torso fragment some of the greatest examples of Western Art Music in all history ...

I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one I hope it's a place where I can meet mozart and get to sing his requiem as he intended it to be finished! don't get me wrong, I love it how we know it, and have performed it so many times I've lost count (sometimes at funerals) but I would love to know the entirety of Mozart's vision!

This is Mozarts farvell to the life,I recomand all music lover to listen to the Genius Mozarts last living message to the world….

MAGNIFICENT

Música para la elevación del alma... ❤❤❤

I WENT ON AN INFINITE TIME LOOP AFTER HEARING THIS! HELP!!

1:57

I agree, well said. We can but imagine...

It is an undeniable reality that the Universe as it exists is such, that something this beautiful can exist. It is the very existence of such beauty, not the human accomplishment of crafting it out of the materials at hand, that makes some people, when they experience this music, wonder aloud whether there might be a God, after all. And really -- it's such both ways. We doubt God when the Universe seems particularly ugly to us. In the face of disease, war, death, and ruin. We praise God when the Universe seems particularly beautiful to us. But this, this Requiem is sublime. Because here, Mozart & Süßmayr have taken the reality of death and shaped its horror into a thing of unspeakable beauty. And so we think to ourselves: if *this* is what Death means, then where has that ugliness gone, that made us curse God? We allow ourselves again to wonder: in a Universe composed with such dissonance, how satisfying must the resolution be? And we realize that this resolution, while perhaps not certain, is at least possible. We allow ourselves to be humble, once again, before our own ignorance and the limits of our perspective. Because it is pride that stands before the face of suffering and says: I know all there is to know about this, I can learn nothing from this, nothing good may come of this, and it is no longer worth living in the face of this. How untrue all of these things have proved to be, about even enormous sorrows and profound sufferings!

Semplicemente Sublime ❤

Mozart used bassett horns instead of oboes or clarinets as the former have a more somber sound. Genius

Beautiful

Великий Гений, как нужна твоя музыка именно сейчас, в это смутное время.

Delightful!

Mozart's Requiem is the Symphony of Death and Life! It symbolizes the judgement that God has in store for us all! To compose such a momentum work must be the work of a genius and that genius was God sent! The Requiem is one of the best orchestral masterpieces of all time!

Not trying to be mean to Süßmarr or maybe it's just my bias but I really can hear a difference in engagement and quality after Mozarts composition ends.

Damn this music slaps. Mozart went HARD AF on this one

Masterpiece!

I don't know what it is about Rex Tremendae. I become an emotional wreck when I hear the song, and I don't get emotional about anything.

07:15 Golem vs. Woolly Mammoth Tsar is super cool.

Interesting how the final chord of the Kyrie doesn't include a third so you can't tell whether it's major or minor.
