@Martha de Francisco : Bravissimo! Your work as producer of this recording is a testimonial to your dedication to excellence and quality, and I, for one, am deeply grateful. Thank you!

@Martha de Francisco : Oh, Damnation! ! ! .... now I realize that this recording is not the same as the one I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated, which was posted probably 5 to 6 years ago. This imposter-one is a poor variant of the first -- mangled, at the end, with the replacement of the original taping with a very bland still-shot of the theater's ceiling for several minutes. All of the former familiar commentaries , including my own comments in which I poured out my gratitude, joy and ecstasy over the original, are now in the dumpster. All of the final audience applause and enthusiasm, and Sir John's final bows -- gone! Rubbed out! This is a surely a case where bad taste and non-artistic judgment win over fine, high-quality production work! In the original, your production crew took great care to capture with your technology and precision teamwork the grandiosity and success of that performance by Gardiner and the artists. Very grateful to you for that -- not many producers have gone far enough to accomplish that, IMHO. Did Google and KZfaq have some other motivation - besides increased marginal profit - to throw away the original posting and replace it with this poor bastardized substitute?

Thanks for this amazing job!!!! ❤️

They do indeed work. You all did the greatest possible service to Mozart.

Truly amazing! Thank You that You helped creating this gem!

Tempo is way too fast

He oído otras versiones, y esta me gusta mucho más, los coros, solistas maravillosos, y el director extraordinario

@@pavlelazarevic3270 in your opinion

Yes.

Follow John Eliot Gardiner.s tribute to JSB. Playing exactly the same date, same piece, same location over a whole year. The greatest tribute to the greatest composer ever! This Gardiner Mozart is a gem too.

Oh yea? then explain to me why we don't hear the last syllable of the word "Lacrimosa" and the same with "Dies Ira"??? This is just disgraceful.

@@motishefer4732 , I can’t relate to your comment… sorry. I hear the whole text perfectly pronounced by the choir.

A deserved tribute of similar magnitude

And deservedly

Thanks sooooo much

Thank you.

ありがとう😊ございます！

Gracias, es de enorme utilidad ;)

WFMT! Loved it. I was a student in Chicago 67-71.

WFMT is still a dedicated station to the only station in the Midwest dedicated to providing the best you will ever hear! I have been listening since 1960 and today it is 2023!! 👏Bravo!!

I’d say Hogwood’s is the best. Emma Kirkby sings with the purest voice. Tempi are perfect. I’d say JEG based his performance on Hogwoods.

Ich kann mich da nur anschließen. Dieses Requiem ist auch eines meiner Lieblingsstücke neben der Johannespassion.

Agree 100%. This is absolutely the best...in every way.

You are indeed privileged...so blessed.

It's not allowed realy?? Why?

@@hagermaged580 who knows, i had to remove the "deleted" version from my classical playlist when KZfaq updated not too long ago :/

@@shiekahfan01 i understand..

The answer, sadly, is money

Eu também!

It looks like this orchestra is playing this majestic piece of music of Mozart's Lament on time period instruments. This is the same with the recording of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

i prefer this, it's closer to how it would have been performed in Mozart's time. they're also using period instruments which is fantastic. there are so many layers and nuances in this piece and Gardiner and the performers do a wonderful job
