 La chronique d'Eléonore : 

MASS IN C MINOR AND ARTIST TALK

Since at the age of 15, I first heard the Mass, this incredible gem with its exceptionally beautiful and rich music, it is one of my favorites.

It was an exciting experience to listen to it in its new version by Jordi Savall and Luca Guglielmi. 'La Capella Nacional de Catalunya'', its unbelievably fantastic singers, "Le Concert des Nations' with its amazing sound, Jordi Savall, Giulia Bolcato, Elionor Martinez, Lara Morger, David Fischer, Matthias Winckhler, Lluís Vilamajó gave a uniquely surpassing performance.

The Mass was followed by a conversation with the presence of Rolando and Ulrich Leisinger, musicologist and director of research of the Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg, and of Jordi Savall and Luca Guglielmi, an Italian conductor, composer, soloist of keyboard instruments (harpsichord, organ, clavichord, fortepiano, modern piano) .

It was an extremely powerful experience to listen to these great scientists and experts in their fields. They analysed the mass, mentioning that its origin is not clear, maybe it is a tribute to Constanze, the wife of the composer.

We had full details of the intention of the creation that remains secret. The Mass is considered as one of his greatest works of Mozart. It is a fragment in more than one respect : Mozart has not set to music all parts of the "ordinarium missae"; it lacks large parts of the Credo and the entire Agnus Dei. In addition, parts of Mozart’s original manuscript were lost early.The reasons for abandoning the composition as well as many details of the premiere performance are still unclear. It is notable that the Mass, although it was never completed, was performed at all during Mozart’s last visit to Salzburg.

One of the greatest musical experiences of Mozart Week 2025'

KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!
