Brilliant - the tempo emphasises the urgency, drive and anger of the "promisisti". it becomes "you *promised* - you'd better deliver". A kind of waving a fist at God. And listen to that trombone at 2.18. I know it's Sussmayr's, but it's like it just can't resist singing along with the tenors. Joyous, sad and angry all at once. Only criticism is that the brass could be a touch clearer - that could be TH-cam, though.
I was close to liking your comment until you said “I know it’s Sussmayr’s” like that’s a problem. This is one of the most divine pieces out there (what do you have against Sussmayr)
@@gonzalo4658 Nothing - but if I didn’t say that some asshat would come along with “lol that’s just Süssmayr showing he knows how to write ‘colla voce’…”
I really enjoy this tempo. And I think that Gardiner was absolutely divine here. I love his attention to details. Listen to how he got the tenors to bring out their moving part in "lacu" at 0:30. You almost never hear that part because of the register it's in but hearing it performed (and probably done so correctly) brings a whole new element to that section. Probably my favorite movement from this entire concert. Brilliant.
Tuve la suerte de dirigir una vez el Requiem de Mozart, para su estudio escuché y analicé muchas versiones Para mi modestia opinión, la mejor versión del Requiem de Mozart que jamás he escuchado.
Aside, I think this performance of the 'Quam Olim Abrahe' fugatto is one of the greatest I have heard. Gardiner always brings such sober and delightful music out of his soloists and choir (also great performances that any music lover should check are Gardiner's Bach Mass in B minor and his Passions!)
Beautiful. Every soul on Earth begging for salvation. Mozart captured that idea perfectly in his requiem with the "Quam olim Abrahae, promisisti" refrain. The four voices together desperately reminding the Lord of his promise of ancient times reflect all of mankind. I think Mozart himself was begging for his own eternal life in heaven, knowing his end was near.
This is a wonderful example how mozart's works were filled with his passion for opera. Almost every composition sounds like an aria! This is a requiem, but it does give images like a stage an actors would. I love it!
the best part in the Réquiem, it´s amazing. Is fantastic, with great fervor and fine leak which successful mozart perfect being in his early classical times, I love the polyphony and fugue mozart does in "quam olim Abrahae promisisti" is impossible not to ecstasy!
@@Itemtotem No, actually the Lacrimosa was the movement he was working on when he died, not the last movement in the Requiem that he actually worked on. It's not like he composed each movement in sequential order. Please see the performance of autograph version of the score that includes only what exists in Mozart's handwriting. You'll see Mozart wrote had a significant hand in the Domine Jesu movement including the all the solo parts, the choirs, figured bass, and first violin: th-cam.com/video/M_0wBTkkT7U/w-d-xo.html.
Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu. Libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum. Sed signifer sanctus Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.
This is much faster than the different versions that I've heard. I've got to say though, the solo part from 1:18 is the best I've heard by far, but the one I heard live last month is a close second. The choir was composed of the three music high schools from the area, so approx. 240 students aged 18-19, the soloists were past students from the schools, and the orchestra was composed of music students and youth attending a local talent programme. You can look the orchestra up, they're called 1B1. And I was obviously very emotional (I cried at least 3 times) since many of my friends were singing/playing. Loved it.
I am even more of a fan of John Eliot Gardiner after seeing him conduct this movement of the Mozart Requiem. He is engaged, enthused, and fused with his orchestra and chorus. It is obvious how he gets such gorgeous recordings.
Imagine being in a crowded theater to hear this first time performance. All around you the music reverberating sounding like it's coming from the room itself, from out of the walls respirating the air in the room
Just to let everyone know, in order to watch this video of pure perfection I had to sit through an ad, that I couldn't skip, of Iggy Azalea's new single - Bounce. So now I hope our entire species is fucking destroyed. xXx
I like this interpretation very much! It's the first time i heard this piece in this tempo! I have played the viola-part of this Requiem, but we played it a bit slower
1:35 .... perfect harmonies .. wauw !! Some preformances, that part is a hot mess, but its done SO WELL with Eliot Gardiner !! Huge respect for everyone.
To some it sounds like a tuba but it is actually a trombone. There are alto, tenor and bass trombones featured in the Requiem. Most of the time they play the same notes as the alto, tenor and bass sections of the choir, so it's not so easy to hear them clearly.
Omg! Are you still alive Mozart? I was very young when i was watching your videos,and now it's a honour to see ur coment! I will be happy if you will answer! I love W.A.Mozart! 😍❤
Actually, Mozart wrote ALL the vocal scores with harmonic and bass accompaniment except for the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei (refer to Alfred Einstein's excellent work on Mozart). Lacrimosa was the last piece to have extensive work on the orchestration ( and the only fully orchestrated pieces were only Introitus, Kyrie and Dies Irae).
After choir rehearsal yesterday singing Mozart's requiem, my friends and I smoked a little marijuana. I listened to the 'Domine Jesu' on the walk home. I tell you now... I swooned in ecstasy at the "Quam olim Abrahæ" fugue. I almost orgasmed at how perfect, beautiful, sublime and ordered the music was. People were giving me looks as if I had just had a stoke because the music elicited odd facial expressions from me.
Bah. I was part of a performance of the Requiem several years ago; we probably took this movement even a hair faster. I can't imagine "Quam olim Abrahae" would really sound any better at a slower tempo. It has such drive and power behind it at this speed.
This is the tempo at which I performed the Requiem several years ago. In fact it seems the director was a fan of this performance, as all the tempos are fairly close to how he took it. Actually I think he even taken this movement a hair faster...

This part of Requiem, is not write for Mozart. He died when finished Lacrymosa. Franz Susmayer acomplished the rest of Requiem mass. He does a great job.....
Actually Mozart did write the Domine Jesu and the Hostias. The last words he ever wrote were Quam Olim Abramhae DC, instructions to go back to this Quam Olim Abramhae fugue.

i knew i couldn't be the only one...there's just that something about latin
Sia quando la ascolto che quando la canto (basso) 😊
1:46 Perfection, my favorite part of the whole Réquiem.
I always slip out of reality, when I'm deep into this part
I agree. it slaps
Absolutely, the best part.
This is in my opinion a pure and divine music, one of the very perfect ones.
This is indisputably the best recording of the Offertorium
THis is the best ever performance of Domino Jesu,,,Ever!!!Amazing It's taking me to heaven,,,Sacred and Profane Really!!!
De sabata and walter are betters.
Agree
You probably haven't heard it from harmonious chorale
Check Harmonious Chorale Ghana version
So you think it's better than Mozart conducting his own music with performers he specifically chose and wrote for?
Somehow I don't .
how cool that the choir sings from memory. i think you can really hear the difference.

You say “it’s sussmayr’s” like it was a bad thing. He was Mozart’s student, he is close to equally as genius

Definitely one of the best parts of the Requiem. Sed signifer is sweet. And I love to watch Sir Gardiner conduct.
2:45 is this heaven? Such a peace and calm feeling.
Goosebumps
If I had godlike powers, I would play this requiem for everyone in their mind, before they died.
The Three Fugues throughout this movement:
0:51
1:19

Is it on TH-cam?
What an amazing performance. This section of the requiem is mind blowing.
The soprano is great. Love how they perform this...fun at a nice tempo. Gives it some energy that you don't really see much anymore.
Great intonation! Great, choir! Great soloists! Very strong performance!
I thought this was a great performance in the way Mozart intended.... sounds heavenly and Maestro Gardiner and the voices were terrific!
I like the tempo, the whole composition seems very upbeat and dramatic
Best rendition of my favorite part of the Requiem that I've seen posted on TH-cam. (And I've been looking for Domine Jesu for a while now.).
0:52 got me chills This is the best version I have ever listened to
Stunning music, absolute heaven to my ears.
I am even more of a fan of John Eliot Gardiner after seeing him conduct this movement of the Mozart Requiem. He is engaged, enthused, and fused with his orchestra and chorus. It is obvious how he gets such gorgeous recordings.
The fugue with the main melody is genius and incredible!! *chills!!!
The absolute best version of the Sed Signifer fugue. And the tempo is amazing!
Beautiful, just beautiful.
I love this part particullary 0:51 when begins the triple choral fuge.... "Ne absorbeat eas tartarus ne cadant in obscurum"
the best transcription from Latin of "Quam olim Abrahae promisisti" i ever heard
Great Gardiner, bravo
excelente! no me canso de escuchar este numero! genial mozart!
This part of Requiem Mozart...it's simple sublime.
J'adore, j'en suis amoureuse, quelle qualité vocale! superbe, merci
I sang this, this past summer and it is one of the hardest things I have ever sang. But this is extremely beautiful
Imagine being in a crowded theater to hear this first time performance. All around you the music reverberating sounding like it's coming from the room itself, from out of the walls respirating the air in the room
My favorite performance of this piece handsdown.
Qué maravilla y además lo cantan sin partituras.
SIMPLESMENTE UM ESPETÁCULO!
