Requiem, K. 626 -  (Requiem)

Frankfurt am Main

Germany

Doubt, fear, confidence - how does man face his own end?  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart describes these innermost feelings in his »Requiem« in a highly differentiated and expressive way.  Is the confrontation with death, which the composer described as »man's true, best friend«, also particularly audible because the end of his own life was imminent?  Mozart died after a short, serious illness in 1791 at the age of 35 - in the middle of his work on the "Requiem", which remained fragmentary.  His student Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the work, which is considered a highlight of the genre.  Under the musical direction of the newly appointed Berlin Staatskapellmeister Thomas Guggeis, the Frankfurt Museum Orchestra and the Frankfurt Opera Choir can finally be experienced together again.
