The third Odyseey from the Ir­rfahrten- Tri­logy, "Rex Tre­men­dus" presents a thought-pro­vok­ing com­bin­a­tion of two op­era buffa frag­ments, "Lo sposo de­luso" and "L’oca del Cairo", along with vari­ous un­fin- ished pieces and frag­ments from Moz­art’s last work, the Re­quiem.
It rep­res­ents the artits’s ul­ti­mate lib­er­a­tion from the re­stric­tions and con­ven­tions of so­ci­ety, his farewell from the world, in total dark­ness.
