“I know well that my hour is near, that I am at the point of death,” Mozart wrote in the last weeks of his life. Not long after this, he began work on the Requiem that he would never complete, but which has proved to be his final masterpiece. With so much urgency and fury in the music, but also many moments filled with tenderness, and a sense of the transcendent, it can seem as if all of Mozart’s feelings about life and death are playing themselves out in the pages of the score. Fittingly, the Requiem shares this program with Mozart’s last and, arguably, greatest symphony.
