On a night steeped in reverence and grandeur, the Kölcsey Center invites audiences to experience two of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most profound sacred works: the Great Mass in C minor (K. 427) and the Requiem (K. 626). These masterpieces, both left unfinished by the composer, stand as towering peaks in the landscape of classical music—hence the evocative title Mozarti hegycsúcsok (“Mozartian Mountain Peaks”).

Program Highlights

• Mozart: Great Mass in C minor, K. 427
• Mozart: Requiem, K. 626

Performers

• Vocal soloists: Sipos Marianna, Busa Gabriella, Megyesi Zoltán, Pataki Bence
• Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra and Kodály Choir (choirmaster: Kocsis-Holper Zoltán)
• Conducted by Imre Kollár

The Great Mass in C minor, composed around the time of Mozart’s marriage, features breathtaking movements such as the Laudamus te duet and the Et incarnatus est soprano aria—often performed as standalone concert pieces for their lyrical beauty and instrumental brilliance. Though incomplete, the Mass reflects Mozart’s deep admiration for Baroque masters like Bach and Handel, blending contrapuntal complexity with Classical elegance.

The Requiem, shrouded in mystery and composed during the final year of Mozart’s life, was commissioned by Count Franz von Walsegg in memory of his late wife. Its haunting themes of grief, hope, and redemption are conveyed through powerful choral writing and dramatic orchestration. While Mozart’s student Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the work after the composer’s death, the Requiem remains one of the most emotionally resonant and enigmatic pieces in music history.
