Antonio Lotti: Requiem - Ensemble PHOENIX, Madrigal Singers, Myrna Herzog

To the ones familiar with Mozart's Requiem, to listen to Antonio Lotti's Requiem written in 1704 (so, before Mozart was born) will be an experience – making one wonder why we do not hear more Lotti in our concert halls. Mozart employ's one of Lotti's Dies irae themes twice in the Requiem: in the Kyrie and in the " cum sanctis tuis" part of the Communio.
