Mozart Masterworks by Various, Ó (2019/2019), Seoltóir Andrew Davis, Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Imagine music that seems to exist outside of time. Deep tranquillity and profound emotion fuse to create a single, indefinable feeling, and ancient chants blossom like flowers into rich, shimmering harmonies. But words can’t really describe Maurice Duruflé’s beautiful Requiem: composed just after World War II, it’s one of those pieces that quietly finds its way into your heart, and stays there forever. For our Conductor Emeritus Sir Andrew Davis it’s a personal passion, and he’s matched it with two very different masterpieces by Mozart. The connection? Timeless beauty – and an unquenchable spirit.
