2019.10.19. Mozart's Requiem - Seattle Symphony

10/19, Saturday. Seattle Symphony.

Toru Takemitsu           -- Requiem for String Orchestra
Karl Amadeus Hartmann    -- Concerto funèbre
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart  -- Requiem, K.626 (completed & edited Masato Suzuki)
Conducted by Masaaki Suzuki

Noah Geller, the concert master of Seattle Symphony, is the soloist in the violin concerto. The four soloists for Mozart's Requiem are: Soprano Joanne Lunn, Mezzo Roxana Constantinescu, Tenor Lawrence Wiliford, Baritone Morgan Smith. I found the tenor's voice weak. I like the other three. I didn't care for the first two works, especially the Requiem by Takemitsu, very atonal. The funeral concerto has some very high pitch minutes, probably hard to do. Mozart's Requiem is definitely tonight's highlight.
