Mozart’s Requiem — Sagrada Família, Barcelona, 2025

Filmed live concert of Mozart’s Requiem performed by the Orchestra and Choir of the Gran Teatre del Liceu, conducted by Giovanni Antonini, inside the Basilica of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain, in 2025, and broadcast by ARTE Concert. The Requiem Mass in D minor, Mozart’s unfinished masterpiece, resonates here within the temple of light conceived by Antoni Gaudí: columns, arches and modernist stained glass seem to answer the score’s dramatic force. Led energetically by maestro Antonini and reinforced by four soloists, the Barcelona ensemble infuses the work with an emotional power felt from the Introitus onward, from the blaze of the Dies irae to the stillness of the Lacrimosa. This live capture offers an immersive experience in which sacred architecture and sacred music form an inseparable whole. A full concert of classical music captured in one of Europe’s most spectacular settings, ideal for (re)discovering Mozart’s Requiem carried by ARTE Concert’s inspired direction. A reference document for lovers of great choral and symphonic repertoire performed live.
