A historical interpretation of the Requiem by the Concentus Musicus Wien.
This 1982 recording by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a pioneer of period instrument performance, is an innovative interpretation of Mozart's Requiem. By using period instruments, he recreates the sound of the work's time, setting it apart from traditional romantic interpretations. The crystalline tone and tense tempo setting bring the work's dramatic character to life. The balanced vocal and orchestral ensemble shed new light on Mozart's final masterpiece.
