The album "Requiem, K.626 / Mozart & Mevlana, Op.110" on CD brings together Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's unfinished, deeply emotional Requiem with Faz?l Say's contemporary work "Mozart & Mevlana, Op.110" in a powerful and thought-provoking program. Performed by soprano Fatma Said, tenor Pene Pati, pianist and composer Faz?l Say and the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, this recording juxtaposes one of the central masterpieces of sacred choral music with a modern composition that reflects on spirituality, dialogue between cultures, and the search for transcendence. The result is a sonically rich journey that moves between baroque-classical intensity and a contemporary, rhythmically vibrant sound world, ideal for listeners who value both tradition and innovation in classical music.
"Mozart & Mevlana, Op.110" builds a bridge between Mozart's musical language and the mystical world of the poet and philosopher Mevlana (Rumi). Faz?l Say's composition combines lyrical passages, dynamic orchestral climaxes and meditative moments, opening an inner dialogue about faith, humanity and unity across cultures. In contrast, Mozart's Requiem K.626 unfolds its familiar architecture of grief, hope and consolation, from the powerful "Dies irae" to the touching intimacy of the quieter movements. The Lucerne Symphony Orchestra provides a precise yet warm orchestral foundation, while the vocal soloists and choir bring text and emotion into a vivid balance. The overall dramaturgy of the CD is designed as a complete listening arc, making it equally suitable for focused listening and repeated discovery.
Fatma Said, Pene Pati and Faz?l Say belong to a generation of artists who have brought fresh attention to classical and vocal music through expressive interpretations and charismatic stage presence. Their collaboration with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra brings together international experience and high artistic standards in a cohesive ensemble performance that emphasizes both musical detail and large-scale architecture. The production values support a transparent, spatially differentiated sound image that lets both Mozart's intricate textures and the colors of Say's contemporary writing shine.
