This is a beautiful DVD of a concert in Vienna that was part of a series of events entitled 'Sacred Mozart' organized by the Wiener Mozartjahr 2006, where all of Mozart's works were performed in various city churches. The festive highlight was this concert, presented in St. Stephen's Cathedral on Jan. 27, 2006, the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, when it was broadcast worldwide. St. Stephen's is where Mozart married Constanze Weber in 1782, where one of his sons was baptized, and where the blessing took place after his death. At the heart of this selection of sacred music is the majestic 'Missa in C Major K.317' of 1779, better known as the 'Coronation Mass.' The 'Church Sonata in C major, K.278,' 'Graduale Sancta Maria, mater Dei, K.273,' 'Ave verum corpus, K.618' and 'Litaniae Lauretanae, K.195' are some of our favorite pieces by the master composer performed here. The sweet voices of the Vienna Boys' Choir are the angels make this powerful sacred music soar up into the wonderful acoustics of St. Stephen's. This DVD places us in the audience of this very special and significant event and reminds us of Mozart's unique genius.
