Great CD : Mozart Requiem in D minor (K626)



The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in 1791. The requiem was Mozart's last composition, and is one of his most powerful and recognized works, not only for its music, but also for the debate over how much of the music Mozart managed to complete before his death, and how much was later composed by his colleague Franz Xaver Süssmayr.


Despite debate about how much of the music was Mozart's, the Requiem has taken a prominent place as one of Mozart's most important works
