Various - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Requiem - Ave verum corpus, Miserere

An absolute highlight of Salzburg�s Mozart Week with �highest art of sound and riding� (Kronenzeitung): the French equine artist and theatrical genius Bartabas presents Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart�s Requiem. Horses and riders from the formidable Acad�mie �questre de Versailles join forces with the Musiciens du Louvre, conducted by Marc Minkowski, the Salzburger Bachchor and �an excellent quartet of soloists� (Kurier), namely Genia K�hmeier, Elisabeth Kulman, Julien Behr and Charles Dekeyser, to place the Requiem into a new theatrical context. Restoring the Felsenreitschule�s original purpose � a riding school � and at the same time including its impressive architecture of arcades into the musical dramaturgy, the production is a breath-taking synthesis of the arts. By meticulously refining the skillfully regulated interactions between humans, animals and music, Bartabas and his horsemen have created a production which is much more than a great show riding choreography: it�s a moving exploration of the interconnectedness of existence.
