Mozart/Haas: Requiem
Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg & Salzburger Bachchor, Ivor Bolton
This is a valiant attempt at a worthwhile exercise that nevertheless throws up one or two puzzling matters…Worthwhile for the Haas, for those attuned to his sound world.

About
All of the parts of the Requiem, composed by Mozart himself, exist in a complete four-part vocal score with organ bass - only the first movement is fully orchestrated - and contain virtually all of the key musical aspects: theme, harmony, melody, dynamics and modulation. According to Haas, “Mozart sketched out the main musical voices for the whole piece, producing almost a skeleton to the work” – in other words, fragments of sound. This was the approach used by Haas for his Klangräume (Sound Spaces).
