Abonnementkonzert V (Subscription Concert V) by Various, ter 22 mar 2022, De (2022/2022), Regente Simone Young, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlim, Alemanha

The two greatest and most ambitious works of sacred music remained unfinished - the Requiem and the Mass in C minor. Written in 1782 at the beginning of his time in Vienna, this impressive »Missa solemnis« is one of the most important settings of the classical period. In this inspired work, Mozart incorporated both a strict art of composition, trained in Bach and Handel, and great melodic emphasis. It gives him excellent testimony as a composer and is in no way inferior to the operas and instrumental works of the 1780s in terms of inventiveness.
