Recorded on february 13, 2011 at the Neubaukirche, Würzburg, Germany Requiem Seele, vergiß sie nicht, Seele, vergiß nicht die Toten! Sieh, sie umschweben dich, Schauernd, verlassen, Und in den heiligen Gluten, Die den Armen die Liebe schürt, Atmen sie auf und erwarmen, Und genießen zum letzten Mal Ihr verglimmendes Leben.

Requiem was later performed at the funerals and commemorative services of Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, and Frédéric Chopin. Centuries later in 1960, “scraps of paper” containing Mozart’s unrealized ideas were discovered, prompting new versions of the Requiem.
