About

Mozart's Requiem in D minor (KV 626) is one of the most performed choral works in the Western classical canon. Mozart left it unfinished at his death in December 1791, and his pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the score. The work's mysterious commission, its dramatic power and the legend surrounding its creation have kept it a fixture of concert programmes for over two centuries.
