Description:

A symphonic performance of this song that tends to be emotional. The singers are also superb. In the 1970s, Karajan brilliantly developed an unprecedented and unique aesthetic that refined the traditions of European music with a modern sensibility. This recording of the Requiem is the first of his masterpieces, and features the best singers of the time in a dynamic and dramatic performance that is almost overwhelming.
