Mozart, Great Mass in C minor

The Great Mass in C minor is considered, along with the Requiemto be the pinnacle of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's religious works. This composition, a promise made to his wife before their marriage, was unfortunately never completed. Often performed in its unfinished version, the Great Mass in C minor has been completed by musicologists and performers alike.

Franck-Emmanuel Comte offers a version that draws on Mozart's earlier works, as the composer himself did for the premiere of his work in Salzburg in 1783. Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu performs this version on ancient instruments.
