New version of Mozart's Requiem in St. Louis
Saturday, October 23, 2004
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a long article about a recently revised version of Mozart's Requiem that will be performed 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, 4431 Lindell Boulevard:
But Sussmayr's version lacks Mozart's transparency and cohesion; in many places, it just doesn't sound Mozartean. So in 1996, musicologist Robert D. Levin wrote his own revised version of the Requiem. That's the score that conductor Bernard Labadie and his ensembles, La Chapelle de Quebec and Les Violons du Roy, will perform Wednesday as a part of the Cathedral Concerts series.
