Mozart's Requiem
Death stood peering over Mozart's shoulder as he struggled to finish his Requiem Mass in 1791. Mozart was ill, and seemed to know that he was in a race against time. He wrote frenziedly. But in the end, death didn't have the patience to wait for him to finish. Mozart died at age 35, leaving it to others to complete this beautiful and tormented work. In today's show, a performance of Mozart's Requiem from a concert in Amsterdam.
