Salzburg Festival 2017: Mozart Requiem

Synopsis

Teodor Currentzis and his Russian ensemble musicAeterna give their long awaited Salzburg Festival debut at the Felsenreitschule with an exhilarating interpretation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem. The Greek-Russian star conductor, “visually the rock star amongst all conductors” (Kleine Zeitung), is for many today’s most exciting Mozart conductor. The musicAeterna orchestra and its fabulous choir, completely dressed in solemn black cassocks and afoot throughout the concert, perform with full verve and complement each other perfectly: “compelling and in its greatness hardly comparable” (Kronen Zeitung). The young quartet of excellent soloists – Anna Prohaska, Katharina Magiera, Mauro Peter and Tareq Nazmi – is “smoothly blending in with the ensemble” (Salzburg.com). The “phenomen Teodor Currentzis sets Salzburg on fire!” (Kleine Zeitung)
