Mozart: Requiem, original unfinished version [1/3]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Requiem Mass in D minor, K626 - original unfinished version (without Süssmayr completition).

Part 1/3:
I. Introitus: Requiem aeternam
II. Kyrie eleison
III. Sequentia: Dies irae Tuba mirum

New Berlin Chamber Orchestra - Chorus musicus Koeln
Iride Martinez, Steve Davislim, Kwangchul Youn, Monica Groop (soloists)
CHRISTOPH SPERING (conductor)

NOTES:
Introitus is complete, Kyrie is almost fully orchestrated, Sequentia and Offertorium are fully sketched in voices and continuo, but we have only the first eight bars of Lacrimosa (which ends the Sequentia).
No Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, although the Agnus Dei is suspected by some scholars to have been based on instruction or sketches from Mozart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_%28Mozart%29).
The last piece (in part 3/3) is a short sketch for an Amen fugue, which could be part of the Requiem, we don't exactly know.
Note that Süssmayr decided to end the work by adapting the opening two movements which Mozart had written to the different words of Lux Aeterna. This original unfinished version ends with the Amen sketched fugue not presenting the Lux Aeterna.

thank you.

This recording is magnificent, the opening of the Introitus is perfect, from the very first note that is so fragile and desolate that it almost threatens to not speak at all. I think this is precisely what Mozart had in mind.
