This review is from: Mozart: Requiem / Exsultate Jubilate (Audio CD)

At first, I was a little apprehensive about buying this particular recording of Requiem because there weren't any audio samples available. But, after sampling about 20 other versions of "Kyrie Eleison," I still couldn't find an interpretation that I liked. So, I decided to take a risk and purchase this value-for-money version of the Requiem.

Well, it turned out to be the best $7 I ever spent on a CD. The rendition of the Kyrie was exactly the way I wanted it. The rest of the recording was pure beauty, too -- covering an entire range of emotion without fudging on the mechanics. Even the fast passages are delivered with striking clarity.

I wouldn't know if this is THE authoritative recording of Mozart's Requiem, but if you want to get one for under $10, this is the one to buy.

This review is from: Mozart: Requiem / Exsultate Jubilate (Audio CD)

This is the most wonderful CD I own! I have always loved Mozart's Requiem and this is one of the best recordings I have ever heard of it. The best recording of one of the best peices of music ever written! The Exsultate Jubilate is wonderful as well, I was very much impressed with Erika Koth's lovely voice. I only wish she had made more recordings. The long and short of the matter is that you cannot go wrong buying this CD.

I sang the Mozart Requiem in Carnagie Hall last summer, and I must say it is the most amazing piece of work I have ever done. I have never heard a better recording of this anywhere--and I have several of them. It's absolutely amazing.
