Average Rating: Rating: - Perfection In the age of all-digital recording with all the advancements of sound technique, and even with some of the finest singers now available as soloists, this 1975 recording still beats every other one I've heard of Mozart's Requiem. This work, so deep, impressive and so beautiful, tempts the soloists to go overboard, the chorus to boom and the orchestra (especially the brass section) to blare during the huge instrumental portions. Only the most masterful of conductors can completely reign in the exuberance and produce a crafted version of this monumental composition. I bought this because I love Von Karajan and the soloists, in particular Van Dam and Tomowa-Sintow. Von Karajan, the German precisionist, constructed a well-balanced and perfect rendition of this work. Nothing I have listened to since comes close. The soloists are top-class, but here they are not performing separate works to show off their skill. And the chorus is clean and balanced, allowing the listener to hear the work as a whole blending of orchestra, singers and soloists. If you own only one Mozart's Requiem, this has to be the one. Rating: - Very Powerful and Emotional Having listened to many recordings, and also having had the fortune to perform this work on several occasions, I feel that this recording stands out in its clarity of text, and the relay of emotion. A Requiem, being a mass for the dead, envokes strong emotions, and Mozart, in my humble opinion, knew how to bleed emotion out of music and the performers, as well as the listener. The pain and power of this work is extremely well demonstrated in this recording, and this recording is #1 in my library......Enjoy! Rating: - Powerful After having listened to myriad renderings of Mozart's Requiem, this particular album must stand out as the most powerful -- if not masterful -- rendition ever recorded. The solemnity of the requiem mass, clear tenor and alto lines often indistinguishable in other recordings, well-measured pacing, and the perfect balance of orchestral and vocal emphases make this album an absolutely unquestionable choice. You won't be disappointed in the least.
