(c) Johannes Hloch W. A. Mozart Requiem at St. Stephen’s Cathedral
Vienna, Stephansdom — main
About the Event
Listen to the traditional Mozart Requiem in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna before All Saints' Day!
W. A. Mozart’s Requiem is one of the best and most moving pieces classical music has to offer. The myths surrounding Mozart's last composition contribute to the incredible appeal of this masterpiece. The Requiem is filled with the strong emotions that come to man in the face of death: Fear, anger, despair, sadness, hope, consolation.
During his lifetime and after his death, Mozart was associated with the cathedral in several ways: He married Constanze Weber there, had two of his children baptized and a few months before his death, Mozart applied for the position of music director adjunct at St. Stephen's. Mozart's name can be found both in the record of his death and in the cathedral's Book of Death Fees.

Artists
| Ensemble: | Orchester 1756 Critically acclaimed as one of the best Baroque orchestras performing today, the Orchester 1756 performs on historical instruments, focusing their repertoire on the works of W.A.Mozart and their interpretations on an authentic representation of the works at the time of their composition. The year 1756 marks a border between the two styles of music, and founder Konstantin Hiller leads the ensemble from the harpsichord, in accordance with Baroque and early Classical norms. The Orchester 1756 performs in Vienna and Salzburg, filling some of those cities' most celebrated architectural landmarks, including the St Charles Church and the Mirabell Palace, among others, with the music of their own era. The ensemble is also a frequent guest of famous halls and theatres in Europe and further afield, often at the invitation of world‐famous soloists who also specialise in the music of this era. |
