The Requiem was not only one of Mozart's most inspired works, it was one of his last. It was commissioned in the summer of 1791 to memorialize the deceased wife of Count Walsegg-Stuppach, an amateur musician who was in the habit of ordering works from composers and presenting them as his own compositions. But his dubious patronage arrived only weeks before the rapid decline in Mozart's health that would end in the composer's death by the year's end. At the invitation of Mozart's widow, one of the master's pupils worked from oral instructions and sketches to finish the nearly completed work.
In the centuries since, Mozart's Requiem has come to be embraced as a masterpiece of vocal composition. One of the most recorded and performed standards of the repertoire, here reprinted in an authoritative edition, it combines the voices of orchestra, chorus, and soloists into a deeply moving, elegiac work of great intensity.

Requiem in Full Score Reviews

  • Raúl

    La clásica versión del Reueim de Mozart por Sussmayer no empeña, pese a que haya momentos en que su mano no alcanza la maestría estremecedora de la de Mozart, la maestría del diseño de esta obra. Muy recomendable no solo escuchar para compararla la versión de Levin, que no deja de ser una revisión de la de Sussmayr, con todo lo que se supone que tiene de "reconstrucción" de la idea original (?) sino alguna grabación que recoge el material que Mozart dejó tras su muerte. Lo cual nos permite apreciar la grandeza de por sí de esta obra.

  • Becky Lu

    I miss singing from this awe-inspiring piece of Mozart's towards the end of his life. This piece of work requires a chamber orchestra but a humongous choir to execute.

  • Marika

    As a violinist and a classical music lover, reading the score to one of the most incredible pieces of music is a treat. It's just simply stunning.

    What a wonderful piece. Love to sing this and this sheet music works great on a 10 inch tablet. Wow
