Nikolaus Harnoncourt describes Mozart's Requiem as "an intensely personal confrontation, frightening and moving in the case of a composer who habitually kept his life and experiences separated from his art to an astonishing degree". This famous recording uses an edition published by Eulenberg in 1972; In an effort to get closer to the composer's own mind, she replaces the familiar instrumentation of Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who completed the Requiem after Mozart's death.
