It is breathtakingly fast. The strings bite into the notes with a visceral, almost aggressive texture.
Do you prefer classical music or high-energy, dramatic interpretations?
The contrast between a whisper and a roar is massive. It creates a sense of high drama that feels more like a cinematic thriller than a 1791 mass.
Because Currentzis relies so heavily on (tiny changes in volume and texture), an MP3 format—even at 320kbps—can struggle slightly.
Currentzis is famous for his "extreme" historically informed performances. This isn’t the polite, powdered-wig Mozart you’ll hear in a hotel lobby.
This 2017 release featuring and his ensemble MusicAeterna —specifically their take on Mozart’s Requiem or the da Ponte operas—is not for the faint of heart. It is Mozart played with the intensity of a punk rock concert. The Performance: Radical Vitality
