45 years after the publication of the C Minor Mass K. 427 in the New Mozart Edition, the work is being performed for the first time in a new edition on 14 and 15 April 2019 in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. This new edition reflects the latest state of research, whilst also responding to requirements for practical performance. The editor of the edition, which is published in collaboration with the Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg, is the renowned musicologist there Ulrich Leisinger. He has completed the missing passages in Mozart’s fragmentary-surviving mass setting in a subtle and stylistically appropriate way. The first performance using this edition features top soloists, the ChorWerk Ruhr and the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg under the direction of its chief conductor Kent Nagano.
