Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Requiem DVD The present recording of Mozart's final work is taken from the ORF archives and is set in the Goldener Saal of the Vienna Musikverein, a scene familiar to millions of television viewers from the Vienna Philharmonic's annual New Year Concerts. And yet, although the present concert also took place during the late morning, the occasion could hardly have been more different in terms of its seriousness of purpose and concentration on music that is devoted not to pleasure but to thoughts of death and eternity.
Equally unusual is the combination of the Vienna State Opera Chorus and the reduced forces of the Concentus Musicus playing on period instruments.
Even after a quarter of a century, the listener and spectator can still be thrilled by the attentiveness with which the soloists and members of the Vienna State Opera Chorus react to these different sounds and to the often unfamiliar phrasing of the Concentus Musicus Wien, whose players support the conductor's interpretation to the hilt. Harnoncourt, it will be noted, conducts without a baton.
The first part of the concert also comprises a performance of Bach's Cantata 161, Komm, du süße Todesstunde, in which two solo singers (alto and tenor) and a four-part choir are set against an instrumental ensemble made up of strings, organ and continuo, together with two concertante recorders.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Requiem DVD
$20.05
This documentary on the talented soprano Maria Callas sheds a fascinating light on her life and career. Drawing liberally on the final performance Callas made before her death, which saw her inhabit the role of Tosca in a Covent Garden production from 1965, this film offers great insight into why Callas may have decided to quit the stage just before her untimely demise. Her relationship with Greek billionaire Aristoteles Onassis, who left Callas to marry Jackie Kennedy, appears to be the main reason behind her premature retirement, and is discussed here at length. Many of Callas's friends and colleagues also appear, including Grace Bumbry and Placido Domingo, who offer further insight into her life. Ultimately LIVING AND DYING FOR ART AND LOVE is an absorbing portrait of a tortured artists who enlivened the opera world and brought happiness to millions of fans despite struggling to find some joy in her own life.
This DVD features excerpts of the Tosca that was to be her final triumph. Director Franco Zeffirelli devised the staging especially for Callas' return to te stage in 1964 after a three year break. The audience in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London ...
