Editorial Reviews : As with his performance of the Mass in C Minor with these same forces, Leonard Bernstein provides another outstanding performance, certainly one of the very finest available of this oft-recorded music. Without indulging in the sort of Romantic mannerisms that sometimes afflict his Mozart, Bernstein urges his Bavarian forces on to heights of passion and intensity that never upset the music's natural proportions. A magnificent disc.
Buyer Reviews : This recording is one of the most exciting and emotional performance of Mozart's Requiem I have heard, maybe better than the Bohm's one, with the VPO in 1971 (an excellent performance also). The Introitus and the Lacrimosa are amazing, wonderful, and the very slow tempo Bernstein chose increases infinitely the tension, the drama, and brings you to the top of emotion.
Simply marvellous.
A must for all the music lovers and a excellent choice to compare with Bohm or Karajan.
