'Requiem KV 626' by Mozart

The 2013-2014 season of the Studium Foundation Aureum begins with this concert dedicated to one of the most emblematic works of WA Mozart. Requiem KV 626  was an assignment by Count-Stuppach Walsegg which the Austrian composer left unfinished after his death.

In 1791, at the request of Constanze - Mozart's wife -, Leopold Eybler took over the manuscript to finish the instrumental part, but the task was finally finished by Franz Xaver Süssmayr. The Requiem in D minor was composed for soloists, chorus and orchestra (strings, English horns, bassoons, trumpets, trombones, timpani and organ).

Directed by Carles Ponseti, intervening as soloists Marcela Inguanzo (soprano), Yolanda Riera (mezzo-soprano), Antonio Aragon (tenor) and Josep Miquel Ribot (bass).

Half an hour before the concert, the composer Mercè Pons give a talk explaining the work and its author.
