Tonalité : F-Moll - Op.: 146 -. Par LACHNER FRANZ. In 1856, the year in which Mozart's one-hundredth birthday was elaborately celebrated, Franz Lachner composed the Requiem in F minor op. 146. It became his most well-known and most important work. Lachner's intensive study of Mozart's music on the occasion of the commemorative year lends credence to that fact that it was not inspired by a personal…

Par MARTIN FRANK. This edition of Frank Martin’s mass is a scholarly-critical as well as a performing edition that takes all sources into account.

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Dvorák's 'String Quintet in G major” op. 77, had five movements when it was premiered on 18 March 1876.

Magnificat and Nunc dimittis. Par PURCELL HENRY. The present 'Evening Service' is one of the few works in which Pucell sets to music portions of the liturgy, whereas most of the church music of the Master consists of anthems, i. e. cantata-like compositions with biblical text. The alternative between chorus (full) and soloists (verse), so characteristic of this composition, may if necessary be rep…
