In the Thread: One of the Best Mozart Requiems!
Post Subject: My personal favorite Mozart RequiemPosted by JANDL100 on: 6/11/2008
I've not heard the Scherchen so I cannot comment on that.
But of the many other recordings of this wonderful work that I have heard my favorite is definitely Karl Bohm and the VPO on DG. Available on CD and DVD in good quality stereo. (I have both).
I'm a confirmed atheist, but Bohm really captures the spirituality of this work to perfection, in my opinion. Very moving indeed. You can buy the DVD cheaply (about £6 / $12 delivered) from an excellent Hong Kong seller on eBay.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
