Reference Recordings® proudly presents the beloved Requiem of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in a very special interpretation
Academy Award and Golden-Globe-winning film and Broadway star F. Murray Abraham joins Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for Honeck's dramatic conception of Requiem: Mozart's Death in Words and Music
Over a decade ago, Honeck contemporized Mozart's epic masterpiece by incorporating text into the score
F. Murray Abraham, Manfred Honeck, and the Orchestra previously performed Requiem: Mozart's Death in Words and Music at Heinz Hall in 2012 and at Carnegie Hall in 2014
Known for a wide range of roles on stage and screen, the highly acclaimed F. Murray Abraham won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Italian composer Antonio Salieri in the film Amadeus, which fictionalized a relationship between Salieri and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and featured the music of Mozart on the soundtrack
Abraham starred in the critically acclaimed series Homeland, for which he received two Emmy nominations
Abraham recently starred in the HBO hit television series The White Lotus as "Bert," for which he received a Golden Globe nomination
"We are so thrilled that the exceptional artist F. Murray Abraham will return to Pittsburgh to collaborate again with Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony on what promises to be an extraordinary concert weekend," said Melia Tourangeau, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
"Manfred Honeck's interpretation of Mozart's Requiem is a very special one that includes traditional Austrian death bells, Gregorian chant, and conveys both solace and hope"
This album was recorded live in 2023 in beautiful and historic Heinz Hall, home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, in superb audiophile sound
Maestro Honeck honors us again with his peerless music notes, in which he gives us great insight into his musical interpretation of Mozart's final, iconic work
Now in its 130th season, The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is credited with a rich history of engaging the world's finest conductors and musicians, and is deeply committed to the Pittsburgh region and citizens
Since 2008 the Orchestra has been led by Manfred Honeck, its internationally renowned Music Director
