Mozart
s magnificent unfinished
“Great Mass in C minor
K. 427” is impressive
not only for its
monumentality and musical
beauty but for its
fragmentary state which
has fascinated scholars
and performers for
decades.
Working
together with the
International Mozarteum
Foundation in Salzburg,
Barenreiter now presents
a new edition of this
work, reflecting the
cutting edge of
scholarship while doing
justice to the needs of
performers.
High
scholarly standards, the
completion and
reconstruction of
movements: this
pioneering publication
incorporates all this in
order to come as close as
possible to the work
itself:
- The
“Kyrie” and
“Gloria”, both of
which survive complete in
Mozart’s hand, are
edited in accordance with
scholarly standards.
-
The first two sections of
the “Credo” have been
meticulously completed by
the editor Ulrich
Leisinger, drawing on
original Mozart
compositions e.g. the
aria “Deh vieni non
tardar” from “The
Marriage of Figaro” and
paying attention to a
stylistically appropriate
and transparent
sound.
- The
“Sanctus” and
“Benedictus” (with
the “Hosanna”), which
are either incomplete or
survive only in secondary
sources, have been
reconstructed by the
editor.
Sections
without any known sources
are left out in this
edition. Rounding off the
publication is an
extensive Foreword
(Ger/Eng).
The
first performance of
Ulrich Leisinger’s new
edition was given in
April 2019 in the
Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
by the Hamburg State
Philharmonic Orchestra
and the ChorWerk Ruhr
under the baton of Kent
Nagano. The first
Austrian premiere took
place in Salzburg on
August 2019 in the Great
Hall of the Mozarteum,
with Andrew Manze
conducting the Salzburg
Camerata to rousing
applause from audience
and critics
alike.
The C-minor
Mass reconstruction by
Helmut Eder on the basis
of the New Mozart Edition
(BA 4846) is still
available: the score and
performance material are
on hire, the vocal score
is on sale.
