Mozart’s Requiem – Lacrimosa | Classic FM

Mozart’s haunting ‘Lacrimosa’ from his famous Requiem, written in 1791 as the composer himself was in ailing health.

The Requiem had been commissioned by an anonymous figure, and as Mozart’s health continued to decline he told his wife, Constanze, that he believed he was writing the music for his own funeral.

Performed by The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Bach Choir, conducted by Anthony Gabriele at Classic FM Live at the Movies with Viking.
