About
NEW VERSION Hardly any other work in the history of music is as full of secrets as Mozart's Requiem: from the ominous commissioner to the repeated criticism of the completion of the fragment by Mozart's student Sussmayr. It is possible that other 'completers' were at work alongside him, as there are some stylistic breaks that are untypical of Mozart. After a thorough study of the sources and comparative stylistic analyses, Michael Ostrzyga now presents a carefully corrected version, with which he approaches the "most probable compositional solutions for November/December 1791" that Mozart would probably have chosen. Chorwerk Ruhr presents here a first reference recording accompanied by Concerto Koln and conducted by Florian Helgath.

Awards and reviews
November 2020
Ostrzyga has revised or abandoned much of the orchestral writing and composed a long extension to a fragmentary Amen which is now placed after the Lacrimosa. The conductor Florian Helgath keeps his performers alert and rhythmically crisp, partly by imposing a slightly staccato style (in the Introit) together with a disciplined blend (as in the Hostias movement).
