Wolfgang A. Mozart: Symphonie N° 41 KV 551 «Jupiter»
Wolfgang A. Mozart: Requiem KV 626 (arr. Franz Xaver Süßmayr)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem is shrouded in a mystical aura and chiefly because it was written so shortly before the composer’s own death. Artist in residence Philippe Herreweghe sheds a new light on this musical farewell by contrasting it with Mozart’s radiant «Jupiter» Symphony.
