Details
The last work that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote –although he was unable to finish it– has had an existence shrouded in mystery and controversy. Beyond the legend motivated by the mystery surrounding the commission received and the death of the author halfway through the score, the work enjoys a place in history on its own merits: its high level and the energetic features it contains convey the idea of a close and good God, neither distant nor catastrophic, without the need for grandiloquent liturgies. This is the score chosen for the concert that will bring together the Cor Jove de l’Orfeó Català and the Orquestra Universitat de València.
