In the Thread: One of the Best Mozart Requiems!
Post Subject: Another Scherchen’s Westminster RequiemPosted by Romy the Cat on: 12/3/2006

In continuation of the hunt for the inflames best CD-version of the Scherchen’s Westminster 1953 recording of Mozart’s Requiem I would like to inform about a new opportunity.  A Paris-based couple Rene Tremine and Myriam Scherchen run a small label issuing well-received historical recordings of classical music. Recently they realized the Scherchen’s Westminster 1953 Mozart Requiem. I was not able to find then in US as I got them from Japan…

It is not perfect. The Tahra’s Requiem 53 sound OK for hi-fi show but not for being good as it should be. I do feel “some”, and sometimes quite heavy digital effects. But it how most of them do nowadays…. Still, whoever does not have vinyl the Tahra’s Requiem-53 CD is an option to “get” what Scherchen did with Wiener Opera.  Well,… unit the Tokyo DG will press it on the “Originals”….

Rgs,
Romy
