Query: Must Have for Requiem Dorks

...which I have now become. I am partial to the 1961 recording by Karajan, but have been testing the waters with other interpretations. I have tried 3 others, 2 of which (LSO Davis and LCO Norrington) that I wasn't so excited about, but this one is splendid. I find it compliments the Karajan version quite well. There is a clarity which makes this more of an everyday listening experience while with Karajan I have to be feeling an urgency with an impending despair...if that makes sense.The requiem by Mozart is an apex of creativity and passion by who I believe to be the greatest ARTIST to ever grace this planet. Marriner gives this the balance it needs. Get this, you won't be disappointed. It is not rushed or shoddy, not dark and heavy- just right. (But I still like Karajan's better!)
