About This Song

About "Requiem, K. 626 : Mozart: Requiem, K. 626: IIIc. Rex tremendae (Recorded 1975)" by Berliner Philharmoniker

Rex tremendae bows before a throne of smoke and gold. The chorus intones the words with hushed, monumental weight, Karajan drawing out a tension between supplication and dreadβ€”each chord a step closer to an altar where mercy and terror share the same shadow.
