It should not be imagined that Mozart's Requiem is his only great unfinished work: it is the same for the Mass in C minor, although in this particular case it was not death that prevented him from To finish. Some movements have reached us in full, others in reduced form, some only in the form of a rough draft. Since the nineteenth century, publishers and musicologists have tried to restore a finished version of the book, but no one will ever agree with the predecessor … Here is a new attempt at completion, signed by choirmaster Frieder Bernius Also conducts recording) and musicologist Uwe Wolf - a musician, researcher, ideal balance - with the maximum number of passages available from Mozart's hand (some of which have not been exploited by the various versions), And a full orchestration as light as possible. The listener will recognize many moments, while others will seem unheard of. It is because they are.

Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.

Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre present a new recording of Mozart’s Mass in C Minor, the iconic opening Kyrie of which is among the most cherished religious music ever written. Mozart performed parts of the Mass in 1783, but the score remained unfinished, making the use of a scholarly edition necessary for a complete performance. Despite its unfinished state, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor has gained popularity and now enjoys a place in the choral core repertory. For this recording, made in connection to live performances, Minkowski has chosen Helmut Eder’s 1985 edition for the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe. He performs it in a chamber-like setting with his regular ensemble Les Musiciens du Louvre, a small ripieno choir and four outstanding soloists: Ana Maria Labin, Ambroisine Bré, Stanislas de Barbeyrac and Norman Patzke. Since its foundation in 1982, and under the baton of its founder and musical director Marc Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre have developed into one of the world’s best period-instrument ensembles, with a vast discography. This recording marks their PENTATONE debut.
