Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus : Dir, Seele des Weltalls K. 429 (468a)

Thanks to the Mozart specialist Franz Beyer, the cantata « Dir, Seele des Weltalls » has been completed in its original scoring and with an unerring feeling for stylistic accuracy. One already finds echoes of the « Magic Flute » in this fragment, which Mozart wrote in 1785. The two introductory and two closing bars added by Beyer along with the full orchestration of the piece allow musicians to discover a Mozart cantata that will ring familiar with many modern-day listeners. – The « traditional » version by Maximilian Stadler (for soprano solo, mixed chorus and orchestra without organ) continues to remain available
