THE GREAT, THE GENIUS, THE BEST COMPOSER IN HISTORY MUSIC! !!!!!WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@danielrodriguez9630]

I love forever...

[@andrewma3491]

So nice to see her smile when singing Kyrie Eleison. 😍

[@andrewma7965]

The woman who sang Kyrie Eleison is beautiful and has such a moving powerful voice. I'm sure Mozart would be proud.lol Thank God you people exist 🙏🙌🙄❤😌👏🙏🙌

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Wonderful rendition! This Grosse Messe KV 427 is like a revelation with its genius obvious to everyone. As if we were involved in a wonderful journey towards a goal still unknown. This consert has all we need concerning musical power, commitment, nearness and beauty. And a chance for us to get familiar with one of our fellow citizens of this world, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

[@musicaveranyc1874]

The sound of this choir and orchestra is incredibly pure and beautiful.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! ❤

[@andreass.7972]

In einer Zeit wie dieser, wo es dem Bösen mit aller Macht gestattet ist zu wirken, ist das ein ganz besonderer, spiritueller Hörgenuss, voller göttlicher Intuition! Eine Hoffnung!

[@andrewma3491]

I've been jokingly saying that I am Mozart but when I listen to this or pieces that I'm unfamiliar with I cannot but help but be moved by the beauty of the music. Such unspeakable beauty. WOW

[@andrewma3491]

For those of you who haven't seen it I highly recommend the making documentary of Amadeus. It's on KZbin. The one with Spanish subtitles. It's really something else. Amazing what a movie can do. Truly amazing!! I saw it as a child and it stayed with me all these years. One of the gentlemen in charge of production even said that his one great achievement in making the film was the number of people who would now know who Mozart was and be introduced to his music. For me revisiting Mozart as an adult, like books that I was supposed to or tried to read as a youngster, has taken on an entirely new meaning. Life enrichment does not even begin to describe it. It's a life changer! Love affair if you will. WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART, Immortal Beloved may you rest in peace and live on forever and never be forgotten

[@marioduparc4097]

Quel plaisir d'entendre cet " Et incarnatus est " qui est pour moi une perle rare de la musique sacrée...!

I realize that for all of the splendor of Mozart's music it wouldn't be possible without a wonderful orchestra like this so thank you all ♥

I cannot stop admiring this uptaking. I think the clue is a relatively small music ensamble combined with good solists and an angel choir whose voices, like in this case, are heard from above :-)

In the documentary about the making of the movie Amadeus Milos Forman recalled that Peter Shaffer when he realized that was standing in the very same place where Mozart once stood he was off in a corner crying 😢 And now I can completely understand why.

I want to look away but can't! What a beautiful songbird!! She is! LMFAO 😀😅 WOW 😅

[@andrewma3491]

And up until today I've only been praising the first singer but after watching some more I'm quite taken aback by the second singer as well! WOW WOW 😅 As well as the entire orchestra of course conductor too. The crazy thing is that she sat there so humbly and then stood up to unleash a powerful and wonderfully beautiful voice! WOW! It reminded me of the priests at St. Patrick's cathedral who also sit very humbly before they get up to speak. 😀 I also love how they smiled at each other when they both stood up. LMFAO 😀

La messe en ut mineur K.427 (KV.417a), dite grande messe (en allemand Große Messe), est une œuvre inachevée de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composée entre 1782 et 1783. Elle est considérée comme supérieure à toutes les autres messes composées par Mozart, hormis son Requiem. Wikipédia merci

4:33 Salieri drops Mozart's sheet music.

[@andrewma3491]

What I find so strange is that this music was written hundreds of years ago and I believe that the impact is still the same. Just as powerful today as it must have been in Mozart's time as well as the other famous composers whose music has lived on to this day. Even with all the variety of music that has been made since then I still feel that nothing can quite compare to this. It's in a class of its own for sure. I can think of nothing more elegant and elevated music than music such as this. Truly transcends humanity almost. Like it came down to us from the heavens. And if you watch the movie Amadeus you see that there is constant reference made to God. With music like this there is no other suitable reference point. How else to describe this? When I hear this it seems to go straight to the heavens, beyond our comprehension.

[@andrewma3491]

And in the movie Salieri when trying to describe Mozart's music says that it seemed to him that he was hearing the voice of God. There's just no other way to make sense of this. In my mind all other music deals with earthly things and this music instead of inhabiting the earthly realm of existence and human affairs shines straight upward into the heavens especially a mass like this. Although he did have operas that deal with mundane things. Lol

[@andrewma3491]

And when she sang Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison I could easily understand why priests and these singers bowed their heads in deference. WOW WOW 😅 something about the beauty of it makes you bow your head in deference to it. Mozart was really something else! LMFAO 😀 hahaha

[@verenageiger204]

[@andrewma7965]

What is the name of the matron who sang Christe Eleison please? She seems to personify the word dignified: showing a composed and serious manner that is worthy of respect 🙏 👏 🙌 👍 👌 😀 🙏

[@WDRKlassik]

Her name is Katharina Konradi.

[@metphmet]

Qui tollis . 😳😳😳

[@staffanolofsson8201]

WDR Klassik. Why is this not searchable on "Great mass in C minor"? You have to write Grosse Messe. Im sure you will miss a lot of listeners because of this circumstance. Just an advice.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thanks for your concern. But we do have the english name in the tags as well, so it is searchable on "Great mass in C minor". No Idea why you couldn't find it.

[@andrewma3491]

What started off as a mild languid interest albeit jumpstarted by the movie Amadeus has turned into an absolute love affair. Long live Mozart!!! LMFAO 😀 hahaha?

[@romulo-mello]

What completion is this?

[@WDRKlassik]

What do you mean?

[@romulo-mello]

@@WDRKlassik the work was left incomplete by Mozart, so this is either an incomplete recording or the score was completed by someone else.

Ah, this version is by Helmut Eder.

[@andrewma3491]

And just in trying to describe and compliment this music I see why that young Jesuit priest was listening to Mozart in his room LMFAO 😀 hahaha In looking up the word deference I learned two new things. Deference as in humble submission and respect due to elders and came home early in deference to his/her parents wishes. You can either go up or down people! LMFAO 😀 hahaha Just in trying to describe this music I see how it can change you. LMFAO 😀 hahaha it's almost as if different types of music exist in different worlds and different types of spaces. But that may be obvious. LMFAO 😀 hahaha But this music is as close to the heavens as one can get in my opinion for I feel that it is so above everything that I can completely understand why references to God and heaven are often made when people try to describe it. It must be as close as one can get to approaching the mystery and majesty of God that we as humans can get. I'm sure of this.
