Whole libraries have been written about Mozart’s Requiem. The work is also shrouded in a haze of mystery: from the unknown client who paid an immensely high sum for the manuscript, to the fact that Mozart died before he was able to compose the final note. Mozart’s ultimate and unfinished work will probably never reveal its secrets. Musically, this legendary masterpiece is undoubtedly one of the greatest milestones in musical history. A reverie about life and death that leaves no one unmoved.

Conductor Peter Dijkstra has selected some attractive complementary works for this concert: the recent double-choir Libera Me by Nana Forte and Schubert’s short Stabat Mater, which you could easily mistake for an unknown work by Bach.

A performance that is never less than stylish and, perhaps most importantly, heartfelt.

Dijkstra’s strength is his text-oriented clarity, the intelligence of phrasing which is performed in swinging style by B’Rock, and above all: the energetic ardency that nonetheless never scorches subtlety.
