Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing Franz Xaver S眉ssmayr's completion of Mozart's unfinished final masterpiece, this widely celebrated recording captures a dramatic, incredibly heavy interpretation. The Berliner Philharmoniker delivers a lush, profoundly funereal performance that embodies the mid-century ideal of symphonic choral music.
