The Mozart Requiem, Brazilian Edition

An unknown version of Mozart’s unfinished Requiem has been hidden in the archives of a former Brazilian cathedral. A new recording of the Requiem on the specialist K617 French label has been released, “in a version written 30 years after Mozart’s death by an Austrian-born composer, Johann Sigismund Neukomm. It has lain forgotten in a Rio de Janeiro vault for nearly 200 years.”
