A Solemn Devotional- Orchestra Iowa Masterworks V

In his Symphony No. 5, Mendelssohn musically reconciles his Jewish heritage with his love for Bach, using hymns to create an impassioned tribute to the Protestant Reformation. Mozart’s Requiem mass asks an all-powerful God to accept a human soul into heaven. Written in the final days of the composer’s brief life, this deeply moving choral work showcases Mozart at his finest.
