"This recording deserves an infinite amount of stars. When I first heard this recording, I never thought that Mozart's Requiem could be performed with such a legendary amount of depth and maturity. Every tempo that Karl Bohm decided to use, made it only obvious, that he was a man of impeccable musical depth, both emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically. He had to be. You can actually FEEL the emotional power of this recording. It's a spiritual sensation! I have read certain reviews in which people have greatly acknowledged other particular recordings for their incredibly bravura, virtuosic, and flamboyant performances. However, it must be realized, that this is an EXTREMELY deep, and religious work that is primarily for the glory of GOD. And GOD, would obviously have no interest in a person who's goal would be to bring recognition upon themselves, for their flamboyant renditions."

"Bohm's authority as a Mozart conductor is never in doubt: he recorded all the Symphonies for DG with the Berlin Philharmonic in the 1960s, and there are 6 of them rerecorded in the late 1970s,late in his career with the Vienna Philharmonic. There are earlier recordings (1950s) of the late symphonies in Vienna and with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Bohm recorded Mozart's REQUIEM with the Vienna Symphony in 1956 for Philips, and again in 1970 with the Vienna Philharmonic for DG. This video recording was made in December, 1971, and shows Bohm in full command of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and Vienna State Opera Chorus. There is perfect precision, or as near perfect as I can perceive. Bohm is always solidly in control, and never pushes tempos faster than they need to be. Hearing the "Dies Irae" makes my pulse race with the drama and intensity of the text. While feeling the fear of the last judgement, I am at once overwhelmed by the beauty of Mozart's music. The other movements are equally as consistent, and the solo singing by a dream team quartet: Gundala Janowitz, Christa Ludwig, Peter Schreier, and Walter Berry, is wonderful. "

Booklet

I've seen 3 Requiem and this one is to my eyes and ears, the best one. It's the Requiem, I used to hear when young and Bohm is so majestic in his conducting, not throwing his hands all over like some do, calm and masterful. A choir and soloists of the highest and best quality. I highly recommend it. My thanks to el3434 who gave me torrent links to it.
