Robert Wittinger's "Maldoror-Requiem, Op. 42" is a captivating classical composition that spans 56 minutes, divided into four distinct movements. Released on January 1, 1992, under the Cadenza label, this album is a testament to Wittinger's unique musical vision and mastery of the requiem genre. The piece begins with "Introitus," setting a somber and reflective tone, followed by "Kyrie," which delves into themes of supplication and sorrow. The third movement, "Sequentia diabolica," introduces a darker, more dramatic atmosphere, while the final movement, "Lacrymosa et prosa," concludes the work with a poignant and introspective close. Wittinger's composition is both powerful and nuanced, offering a rich listening experience that showcases his ability to blend traditional requiem elements with innovative musical ideas.
