Product Description

From Amazon.com

This recording of the Süssmayr completion of Mozart's beloved Requiem remains one of the most interpretively faithful and musically satisfying versions in the catalog. Sir Neville Marriner, whose contribution to the soundtrack of the film Amadeus helped launch a worldwide Mozart revival, delivers Mozart's inspired music with a masterful command of style and substance. He's not trying to prove anything, but rather lets the music deliver its own profound and moving messages. --David Vernier

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Recording in the Marriner Style, Jan 30 2003

By

Russ W. Knize (IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Requiem (Audio CD)

I own 4 recordings of Mozart's Requiem, and this one is one of my favorites. Marriner's version is brighter and quicker than the others I have, giving it more energy. It does have a darker feel in places, as it should being a requiem. For a truely dark rendition, I would have to recommend Karajan.

The sound quality of the recording is excellent (DDD). I found myself wishing for more from the tenors in a few places, but that is simply a matter of taste.

2.0 out of 5 stars Musically good - Sound poor, Aug 30 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Requiem (Audio CD)

I cannot agree with the other listener's ratings. Whilst interpretation and choir might be good or even outstanding, the sound quality of the recording is poor. The choir sounds like singing from the cellar, the music sticks depressingly to the speakers. The sopranos are ringing in the ears and the strings sound like produced on a synthesizer. This recording is one of the victims of the early digital recording ages. A great disappointment.
