Never has a work been more shrouded in mystery than Mozart’s epic, poignant, and heart-wrenching Requiem.

Commissioned by an anonymous patron, Mozart threw himself into what is arguably his most beloved work. From the sorrowful lamentations of the Lacrimosa to the intense Dies Irae, it’s a work that pulses with emotion, transcendental beauty, and grips from start to finish.

Mozart died before completing his masterpiece. How much is his own writing is unknown – Beethoven had the final word on this matter: ‘If Mozart did not write the music, then the man who wrote it was a Mozart.’
