Professional Review:
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

   Summary: The Great Middle-of-the-Road Version
This a wonderful recording for those who want to get a THE recording of Mozart's Requiem. Marriner doesn't try to elevate the authentic Mozart movements from Sussmayr's, and so the feel is very balanced. Unlike many other versions/recordings, this one is especially geared toward making the work feel mainstream. It works wonderfully.
One small complaint: Robert Lloyd's bass is a tad sluggish in the Tuba Mirum.

   Summary: Good mix of music
A friend saw this piece performed live in Europe and she says this is very close to the quality of that performance.

   Summary: A Beautiful Mass
Mozart: Requiem / McNair, Watkinson, Araiza, Lloyd; Marriner
(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) is a beautiful composition. I had not realized that a mass for the dead actually had up-tempo pieces. This work of Mozart is fascinating because he did not finish it before his death. It was completed by some of his students. Still Requiem is a composition I would recommend to avyone who loves classical music.

   Summary: Mozart himself would have been proud if he heard this...
...and I mean it. This is one of the few astonishing renditions of Mozart's Requiem. Franz Xaver Sussmayr's completion of his unfinished work still remains controversial, but I don't see why. It's as majestic & imaginative as Mozart's own classical style and it really fits perfectly from "Domine Jesu" to "Lux Aeterna". As for this performance, it's downright outstanding. The orchestra is top-notch, the soloists are flawless, and the choir is at its highest form. The tempi still may not be as what it was intended to be (conductors John Eliot Gardiner and Philippe Herreweghe must be the only people who gave the Requiem the actual "classical" atmosphere), but it's very close. All in all, one of the finest interpretations ever put on CD.

   Summary: Excellent Performances
As always, deciding which particluar CD/Recordiong of my a musical piece of interest to buy was difficult. I am very happy I chose this one. Solid preformances which showcase the composer's brilliance. Of course I don't need to rate Mozart, we all know he is birlliant and his work is breathtaking.
