Mozart - Requiem / 2xHD

Composed in 1791, Mozart's “Requiem” in D minor (KV 626) is the last composition of the musical genius and is generally considered a masterpiece of classical music. Among the various recordings of this great work,

this one – with the musicians of the Stockholm Conservatory and the renowned St. Jacob Choir conducted by Stefan Sköld – enjoys a special status: made in 1979, it is considered one of the most perfect versions of

Mozart's Requiem ever made. Soloists such as Margareta Hallin (mezzo-soprano), Anne-Marie Mühle (alto), Brian Burrows (tenor) and Magnus Lindén (bass) succeed in a fascinating way in sensitively expressing the

gravity of the story, which deals with the essence of life and death, and thus do justice to Mozart's sublime greatness.For this sonically impressive LP version, the original recording was specially mastered completely in

analog (AAA), cut on tube machines at Bernie Grundman Mastering. It was then manufactured as 180-gram vinyl (33 rpm) and provided with an informative booklet.

René Laflamme, one of the most sought-after sound engineers in the industry, used high-quality Nagra equipment for the detailed remastering. 2xHD, which he runs together with André Perry, founder of the famous 

“Le Studio” in Québec, enjoys an excellent reputation and has rightly acquired an exceptional status in the high-end world. Laflamme's unique sound engineering skills are valued by many important players in the industry:

for example, he represents and advises sound pioneers such as Nagra and Kronos Audio.
