Product Description

Product Description

The Levin edition of Mozart's compelling Requiem is performed in thrilling splendour by Sir Charles Mackerras and the SCO. This is Sir Charles Mackerras' first recording of the Mozart Requiem. His history in conducting Mozart is considerable - he is acclaimed as one of the world's greatest living Mozarteans. This recording uses the score prepared by Harvard professor Robert Levin. Levin aims to improve on Franz Sussmayr's familiar edition by making the music closer to what Mozart might have written.Mackerras performance is thrilling.The Sunday Times.The excellent performance you would expect. Sunday Herald.A genuinely superb performance.Audiophile Audition.The results are breathtaking.The Observer.

Review

Benchmark Recording,Robert D Levin's version has won the advocacy of Sir Charles Mackerras,whose version with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra shows an exemplary sense of style. --BBC Music Magazine

The string lines carry all the expressive weight one could want, and the woodwind and brass have a sovereign authority. --The Guardian

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars isn't enough for such perfection. 25 Dec 2004
By J. Vich
Format:Audio CD
Searching for an excellent Mozart's Requiem recording, I tried Marriner / ASMF, Hogwood / AAM and listended to few more, but this one is really a pearl and my final favourite - far far best one. It is very rare when modern, fully digital recording significantly surpasses usually excellent (in both playing and interpretation) analog (or early DDD) recordings of the same work from second half of 20th century. Why second half of 20th century ? Because most classical masterpieces had been recorded and intepreted in nearly compelling way in those times. But this not the case - Sir Mackerras, excellent conductor and unexceptionable authority on Mozart, acheived outstanding success which would be hardly ever beaten. Absolutely recommended, buy this SACD disc until you can - and as soon as possible. (Note: it is hybrid SACD, so it will play also in standard CD-audio player.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it. 26 Jan 2012
By Kriss
Format:Audio CD
I don't have a classical music background, nor a very technical one (to properly evaluate the SACD part), so what is my authority on this; but playing this record on my SACD-player is really extremely enjoyable for me. Just great!
For me, it was a test - a not to expensive one too - both of the SACD and this music by Mozart, and both were very conclusive.
As I understand it, this is music for a funeral mass ... One would really almost desire to have it played at one's own ... but we are not in a hurry, of course :-). So beautiful! Thrilling ...
Hence the well deserved five star rating.
