Info for Cassol: Requiem pour L. (Inspired by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

Mozart’s Requiem is probably one of the most legendary works in the history of western music, having retained its aura of mystery for more than two centuries. Unfinished at the time of the composer’s death, the score was completed at the request of his widow Constanze, mainly by his disciple Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who gave it the form we know today. Fabrizio Cassol needed several years of research to penetrate this labyrinth and its countless secrets. He began by immersing himself in the manuscript, comparing its various hands in order to identify the elements written by Mozart himself. Then he extracted its essential components, constructing a new framework in the spirit of a different kind of ceremony: an interweaving process that in its radical extremes opens up the work to other modes of communal mourning.
