I got the inspiration from Reilly's post above. Some years ago I listened through many versions of Mozart's Requiem one or more times and ended up buying a 1971 Karl Bohm version on Deutsche Grammophon and a 1984 Christopher Hogwood version on Decca.

Here's the Bohm:

I haven't heard any other than the live one recently but I think this one
would be my first choice:


Robert Levin preserves all that is reliably Mozart's music, substantially recomposes the inept Osanna fugue, and here and there touches up faulty harmonies and clumsy orchestration. Levin also replaces the cadential close of the Lacrimosa with a completion of Mozart's sketches for an Amen fugue, a feature of this completion that some listeners may find startling, but sufficiently Mozartian and ultimately satisfying as a solution. Martin Pearlman and the Boston Baroque enhance Levin's efforts with a sterling rendition on period instruments that is marvelously resonant, especially with Telarc's vibrant reproduction;

It appears you have although I am of two minds concerning posting free music.

Did you know that the Requiem was played at Chopin's funeral?

My best friend in Seattle, whom I shared a house with, was second trombone
in the Seattle Symphony. For reasons known only to Mozart the great Tuba
Mirum opening solo was written for the second trombone. Living with him
in the weeks leading up to those performances was like belaying somebody
on a massive runout. Talk about 'wound up'!

Great story, horrible runout, beautiful music ...
and I hope my one mind is not causing me or anyone else trouble...

On Sunday, I had the privilege of attending a choral concert of the works of a modern composer, Robert S. Cohen. The main work was called Alzheimer's Stories. I found it incredibly moving and his shorter works affected me equally strongly. The works were performed by the Fresno State Chamber Singers, the Fresno State Concert Choir and the Fresno Master Chorale. They were all absolutely beautiful.

The versions on his website barely give a sense of what the live performance was like.

I had never heard of this composer, but I am a fan now.

My pleasure, Mouse...though I'm primarily a lurker on it. I learn TONS from everybody here.
