The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death on December 5. A completion dated 1792 by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a Requiem Mass to commemorate the February 14 anniversary of his wife's death.

The Süssmayr completion of the Requiem is divided into fourteen movements, with the following structure:

I. Introitus
Requiem (choir and soprano solo) (D minor)
Kyrie, Bruno Walter, 1956.
II. Kyrie (choir) (D minor)
III. Sequentia (text based on sections of the Dies Irae)
Dies irae (choir) (D minor)
Tuba mirum (soprano, contralto, tenor and bass solo) (B-flat major)
Rex tremendae (choir) (G minor–D minor)
Recordare (soprano, contralto, tenor and bass solo) (F major)
Confutatis (choir) (A minor–F major, last chord V of D minor)
Lacrimosa (choir) (D minor)
IV. Offertorium
Domine Jesu (choir with solo quartet) (G minor)
Hostias (choir) (E-flat major–G minor)
V. Sanctus (choir) (D major)
VI. Benedictus (solo quartet and choir) (B-flat major)
VII. Agnus Dei (choir) (D minor–B-flat major)
VIII. Communio
Lux aeterna (soprano solo and choir) (B-flat major–D minor)

Requiem in D Minor K. 626: Lacrimosa (Instrumental)

At a time of gathering momentum, ALPHA is rereleasing 14 seminal recordings in a collection called, quite simply, ALPHA
COLLECTION.
This series brings together the finest Baroque recordings from the Alpha and ZZT catalogues: discs singled out for honours,
emblematic artists of music from that period, recordings that marked the discography...
This is also the occasion to discover or rediscover universally known works as well as world premiere recordings of rarities.
In the framework of these rereleases, the performers have been interviewed and bear witness to their view of the work and
their recording several years later, and their fascinating remarks are taken up in the booklets (all trilingual: French, English,
German).

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.
