REMASTERED IN 24-BIT/192KHZ FROM ORIGINAL TAPES AT ART & SON STUDIO, ANNECY

Nikolaus Harnoncourt offers us something different than the more classical versions we have in reference (Some strong choices in dynamics, expression and musical phrasing). As time went by we were charmed by his vision. Harnoncourt describes Mozart’s Requiem as “an intensely personal confrontation, frightening and moving in the case of a composer who normally kept his life and experience divorced from his art to an astonishing degree”. This famous recording uses an edition published by Eulenberg in 1972; seeking to come closer to the spirit of the composer himself, it replaces the familiar instrumentation of Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who completed the Requiem after Mozart’s death. For the 40th anniversary of this recording Warner Classics have newly remastered it from original tapes in High Definition 192kHz/24-bit and will release it on vinyl, on CD and in digital, both in HD and in Dolby Atmos mix, with original cover artwork.
