I also love Mozart's Requiem. I've had a copy for years by Neville Mariner. It's pretty beat up so I bought an SACD by Herbert von Karajan. I don't mind him on this piece.
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

@frogman are you referring to Dorati's version of "The Creation" (Royal Phil, London/Jubilee)? If yes, it's easily the best version of the four or five I own. Just my 2 cents. I'm nuts for oratorios, so many through the centuries. Handel is the master here, but other composers wrote spectacular pieces, too. And while we're talking about liturgical music, can't overlook Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis" (masterful). Just the most epic piece of music from a composer who wrote epic music throughout his career. |
