Overview

This ETERNA release presents two of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most profound sacred compositions: the Requiem in D minor, KV 626 and selections from the Missa in C minor. These masterworks of choral literature are delivered with spiritual intensity and dramatic depth by the Solistenvereinigung des Berliner Rundfunks and the Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester Berlin under the baton of Helmut Koch. The cast of soloists includes Jutta Vulpius (soprano), Gertraud Prenzlow (alto), Rolf Apreck (tenor), and Theo Adam (bass), all prominent voices in East German classical performance. Originally intended for public broadcast, this recording preserves the reverent atmosphere and emotional nuance of Mozart's sacred legacy.
