Performance NotesRaphaël Pichon and his exciting ensemble Pygmalion present an alternative vision of Mozart’s Requiem, famously left incomplete at the composer’s death.

Tonight’s reimagining swells the popular completion by Mozart’s pupil Süssmayr with additional pieces to create a compelling alternative sequence.

There was no interval.

The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
