W.A.Mozart Requiem at St Stephens Cathedral

Hear the Mozart Requiem traditionally on All Souls' Day in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna!

W. A. Mozart’s Requiem is one of the best and most moving pieces classical music has to offer. The myths surrounding Mozart's last composition contribute to the incredible appeal of this masterpiece. The Requiem is filled with the strong emotions that come to man in the face of death: Fear, anger, despair, sadness, hope, consolation.

Mozart married his wife Konstanze in St. Stephen´s and two of his children were baptized here. After his death, Mozart was laid out in St. Stephen's, before being transported to St. Marx cemetery in Vienna. Mozart's name can be found both in the records of his death and in the cathedral's Book of Death Related Fees, as is his wedding with Constanze Weber.

The Vienna Cathedral Orchestra and Vocal Ensemble of St. Stephen under Cathedral Conductor Markus Landerer perform W. A. Mozart's Requiem appropriately for All Saints' Day in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.
