Mozart Requiem Dies Irae conductor Paul Mauffray

This performance of the Mozart Requiem was part of a benefit concert for the Gulf Coast Orchestra Relief which helped musicians who were effected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Performed by the Czech Philharmonic Chorus and the Brno Philharmonic.

Instead of the usual version completed by Sussmayer, for this performance, I reconstructed the first version completed by Mozart's pupil Josef Eybler. Please post a comment if you can correctly point out some of the differences you hear in the orchestration! But don't cheat by using a critcal edition which shows the Eybler version ;-]

The Druce completion.

Hi, thanks for pointing out the Duncan Druce completion in the Novello edition. Could you perhaps send a link with more info? THIS version we performed however includes work by Josef Eybler, and he was the one who Mozart himself wanted to complete it. Unfortunately, Eybler did not finish it, and only those parts that he did not complete were sections we performed by Sussmayer. To my knowledge, I am the only conductor who has made a composite Mozart, Eybler, Sussmayer version.

beautiful.

The string parts have different rhythms! It sounds really good. In my opinion closer to Mozart than Sussmayer or any of the others (but that's not surprising (who include Simon Andrews, Franz Beyer, Duncan Druce, Michael Finnissy (to be published this year), Robert Levin, Richard Maunder and HC Robbins Landon. You should contact Stephen Cleobury at Kings College Cambridge, he might be interested in your edition, we were just making a recording w. some of the differences in the above editions!

I would start with the organ. I play trombone, so I notice the trombone is not playing parts that I have played.

Sounds great.
