5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling reading, 15 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Gardiner's reading of the requiem is the most viscerally thrilling on record. The dies irae through to the mors stupebit in particular will leave you drained, such is their intensity. As in most of his recordings, Gardiner clarifies the textures of the music so as to draw to your attention details of which you may have been completely unaware. Many other recordings of this piece sound "sludgy" by comparison and are surprisingly devoid of this performance's (or in fact any) intensity of feeling. The soloists are all excellent. Regardless of whether you are a period instrument fan, this is the best and most moving recording available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Punchy and beautiful, 24 Jul 2006
By J. Hutchings "jjhutchings" (Framlingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I had in my collection Richard Hickox's recording of this alongside Solti's rendition. I was then told that, apparently allegedly etc, that Sir John Eliot thought his recording of Verdi's Requiem was his finest recording to date, so I had to buy it.

It is true - the performance of the Requiem and the four Sacred pieces are masterful. The Dies Irae, that most famous moment, is typical Gardiner - punchy and driven with no let up - 'day of wrath and doom impending' indeed. However, in the more gentle moments, such as the opening and later in the Libera me, Gardiner weaves a beautiful serenity into the performance.

The test for me with this piece is the 'Domine, libera, Domine' at the very end with the almost-Spanishlike dance where the fugues of 'cum iudicare' build up into a full choir & orchestra frenzy, the soprano soaring high above them - the frenzy is manic, but superbly controlled by Sir John Eliot. Gardiner's choice of soloists is superb, especially the soprano Luba Orgonasova, whose voice matches the music perfectly.

Even if Sir John Eliot didn't say it was his finest recording, there's every evidence here to suggest that it could be.
