Excellent!.......2007-03-05

I bought this version of the Requiem after doing some research on the various completions. Prior to that I'd been studying several of the late Haydn Masses and had a fairly good sense of the conventions of late 18th century liturgical music. My first listen to Sussmeyer's completion after looking at the Haydn left me really dissatisfied with what Sussmeyer had done with the work. It sounded pretty lame especially the truncated fugues at the end of the Sactus and Benedictus.

When I got this CD I went straight for the Lacrymosa. It's my favorite movement of the whole work. The completion by Levin includes a fugual Amen based on a fragment that as best as musicologists can tell was intended as the basis for the end of the Lacrymosa. This differs considerably from Sussmeyers massive two chord Amen. Mozart had totally assimilated the contrapuntal language of Bach and Handel, but his student was probably simply not up to the task of completing the fugue. That's my guess. Anyway, as I listened to Levin's completion of the Lacrymosa, it sounded a little weird at first. The things I was used to being in certain places were altered a little. The convention in liturgical music of the period was to end on a half cadence before going into a fugal ending. Sussmeyer does a full authentic candence before doing his big Amen. Levin follows the convention of the period leaving things hanging in expectation of the fugue. Sure, that sounds technical, but Levin's version just sounds better. As I listened to it I felt like I was hearing something much closer to what Mozart would have done. It was spine-tingly, like Levin was almost channeling Mozart. The Amen fugue is extremely well done and almost totally convincing. There are a few passages that are a little iffy (Mozart would have done it better), but the overall effect is a more convincing end to the Sequence, actually very uplifting. I totally love it. Levin's reworking of Sussmeyer's compositional contributions are a definite improvement without potentially throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The reworkings of the fugues at the ends of the Sanctus and Benedictus are drastic improvements. They're simply vastly superior to Sussmeyer's work. They flow naturally and cadence idiomatically for the better (I would have ended on a full major chord rather than an open fifth - that follows Mozart's own practice). In these passages Levin ends up being a better 18th century composer that Sussmeyer was.

Oh yeah, the performance... It's very good. I'd like to hear John Elliot Gardiner do this version, but short of that I'd recommend it highly. Very clear and precise, excellent tempi, good balance between the choir and the orchestra.

The Definitive Requiem.......2007-02-27

When I first purchased this 1994 recording of Robert Levin's reconstructed version Mozart's Requiem, I was honestly a bit skeptical. I thought to myself, should anyone, even an reknowned expert like Levin, really be messing around with this masterpiece? Who could even approach Mozart's genius? But once I did a little research, and read the very informative notes included with this disc, I realized how much of the standard Sussmayr version is certainly not what Mozart would have intended, and varies from the most common practices in sacred works of the 18th century. Of course, we will never now how exactly Mozart would have completed this masterpiece, but I think pianist/composer Robert Levin has come as close as anyone ever will. In fact, Levin puts the Requiem into its historical/musical context brilliantly and I think Mozart himself would be proud. This cd is truly the most magnificent and moving version I have ever heard. I also own an acclaimed disc of the Requiem with Arleen Auger, but this disc easily surpasses it. The accoustics are incredible, and Martin Pearlman and the Boston Baroque have given us a most remarkable recording that will be the definitive version for years to come.

Outstanding!.......2006-05-31

I sampled about ten other recordings of Mozart's Requiem before deciding on this one. Among them were the Bernstein, Solti, Von Karajan, Marriner, and Harnoncourt versions. This recording stood out for its historical accuracy, expression, interpretation, and quality of sound.

First, one should note that this is the Levin edition of the Requiem. While many will prefer the Sussmayer for its historicity and personal connection to Mozart, Levin's edition stands out in that some of Mozarts unused skecthes are included (notably in the Amen) and a good number of the harmonies are fixed. While Levin is a modern musicologist, he has a deep understanding of Mozart's intent and it shows through.

The Boston Baroque orchestra has a perfect feel for the Baroque/Classical tempi and rhythms. The sound of each instrument is clear and distinct without losing the dramatic extremes of the music or sacrificing orchestral depth in the process. The orchestra plays with the gusto and arrogance of the Classical era and larger orchestras simply cannot compete with the mechanical accuracy of the smaller, period ensemble.

The soloists are excellent, though I have never heard of any of them. They sing well alone or together with rich tones and perfect trills. Each of them demonstrates a strong understanding of Classical singing technique with warm timbres and good diction.

The choir stands out above them all, however. While the other recordings I listened to have oversized choirs, the Boston Baroque is audibly small, but highly capable. Their sound is commanding, but never blurry and every consonant is clear. While the larger choirs on other recordings sound truly epic in scope, they lack the emotional impact and clarity in the cadneza passages. I have never heard a more well balanced, perfectly tuned, and emotionally satisfying choir.

Pearlman's conducting is first rate; he knows the Baroque and Classical periods intimately and it shows through in the brisk tempi (such as the Dies Irae) and measured slow sections, notably the Lux Aeterna.

Telarc truly nailed the recording quality on the head in their balance of bass, treble, and clarity. There is a great deal of dynamic range in the music from soft to loud and the sound only seems to get better as you crank up the volume. There are no cracks, pops, or hisses to be found and the sound is remarkably live with little backspace or static. This is a first rate recording and a fantastic interpretation of Mozart's used and often-abused music.

The new gold standard.......2006-01-30

First, if you've listened to or owned a "traditional" recording of the Requiem (I have Karajan's 1962) hold on to your hat, because the tempos will knock your socks off.

I already have BB's Bach Orchestral Suites (which gets all 4 on one CD) and I was STILL surprised.

Second, the Levin reconstruction is a more than worthy replacement of the traditional Sussmayr, including the completion of the Amen fugue and cleaning up some harmonic lines.

And, finally, the sound! This is clean, crisp and bright.

Accept no substitutes; if you like the Requiem, run out and buy this now.

Excelente requiem.......2002-10-22

Exelente grabación. El coro es pequeño pero clarito, la orquesta suena espectacular (con instrumentos de la época) y los tempo son rapidos. Es una de mis grabaciones favoritas, el amén es uno de los mejores que hay grabados. Lo único que no me agrada es el Hostias, podría estar tocado más al estilo del "Ave Verum Corpus", un poco más íntimo.

Some children's choirs achieve a professional level of performance, and among these the Toronto Children's Chorus is at the top of the list. This disc's subtitle says it all--after listening to this celebration your heart will truly soar. This is a virtuoso program of modern works that demands--and delivers--exceptional intonation, keen rhythmic sense, and well-developed vocal technique and musicianship. --David Vernier
