The seventh in a series of ten programmes Workshop:
Mozart's Requiem Introduced and conducted by Roger Norrington
Mozart died in December 1791, leaving the Requiem unfinished. Completed by one of his pupils, it has been the subject of controversy ever since. By going back to Mozart's original incomplete manuscript and 18th-century documentary evidence, ROGER NORRING TON shows how he tries to re-create an authentic style of performance.
The complete performance of the Requiem was recorded at the Church of St Mary-Ie-Bow, London. Meryl Drower (soprano)
