Notes and Editorial Reviews
A most unusual musical encounter. 180 musicians succeeded in blending Buddhist meditation rites with Christian funerary liturgy. The Stuttgart Philharmoniker and two choirs performed Mozart's Requiem, twelve Tibetan monks from the Tashi Dhargye monastery performed mantras from the Yamantaka and Mahakala rituals, and the Schola Gregoriana performed Gregorian chant.
