Album information
The Levin edition of Mozart's compelling Requiem performed in thrilling splendour by Mackerras and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
This is Sir Charles Mackerras' first recording of the Mozart Requiem. His history in conducting Mozart is considerable - during his lifetime he was acclaimed as one of the world's greatest living Mozarteans.
This recording uses the score prepared by Harvard professor Robert Levin. Levin aims to improve on Franz Sussmayr's familiar edition by making the music closer to what Mozart might have written. It was named a Benchmark recording by BBC Music Magazine amongst other accolades.
