The requiem surely asks for A-basso & Ab-basso. The conductors should know it from the score. It seems they cannot even imagine how a score should sound. Poor conductors, you have failed your profession. Is just money counting your business ?
Thank you Hans and all who answered. Actually this is a fully amatorial enterprise, in which we will be joined by an English orchestra and a German choir. The conductor is an enthusiastic choir conductor who is having her first experiences with orchestra, so don't blame her to much. She was able to organize this event...
By the way, I now realize that I could answer my previous question about the A and Ab parts just by looking at the I and II horn parts, which are in E and Eb; obviously these could not be lower than III and IV!
