Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Review of Mozart: Requiem CD Comment: Arrived in excellent condition--brand new--arrived in a very timely manner. Excellent service. Customer Rating: Summary: Mozart: Requiem Comment: It sounds good. It skips track #2 sometimes on one of my cd players but on an older cd player it plays it. oh well life is tough if this is all I have to complain about Customer Rating: Summary: Mozart: Requiem/McNair, Watkinson, Araiza, Lloyd;Mariner Comment: this is definitely the best performance we heard. we have 2 other performances - but this one simply is the best. from the first notes you experience the true essence of how this requiem should be performed. it is simply superb. Customer Rating: Summary: Reviewing Mozart is like reviewing God. Comment: Don't bother. Customer Rating: Summary: Astounding! Comment: I'm of the opinion that this is the greatest piece of music ever written, and this the best performance. I end up completely hypnotized by it every time I hear it. Can't add much that hasn't been said. The only beef I have is with the engineering, in that in an effort to keep from peaking in the fortissimos, the softer parts are occasionally TOO quiet, and I've played it on many different CD players, including professional equiptment. Maybe I need my hearing checked! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This recording of the Süssmayr completion of Mozart's beloved Requiem remains one of the most interpretively faithful and musically satisfying versions in the catalog. Sir Neville Marriner, whose contribution to the soundtrack of the film Amadeus helped launch a worldwide Mozart revival, delivers Mozart's inspired music with a masterful command of style and substance. He's not trying to prove anything, but rather lets the music deliver its own profound and moving messages. --David Vernier
