I would expect recordings by Solti and Karajan to be good, although both
conductor's performances sometimes suffered inequalities, particularly the
latter's.  The finest performance of Mozart's Requiem I have heard is the
one conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini, not his later recording on the Sony
label, but his earlier one (c.1980) for EMI/Angel.  And Sir Colin Davis made
several very fine recordings of it too.  And there is a pirated recording of
a live, broadcast performance conducted by Guido Cantelli, which I have
never heard, but which many experiences with other performances by that
conductor would lead me to believe should be the best of all.

A good day for it!
I read your post and put on one of mine. The Hogwood.
The range of emotions from A to B!

Now I'll put on the 1962 Karajan Berlin. ADD just like me!
None of these wimpy gut strings on the Violins!
Mahler meets Mozart!!!!!
The singing is sure better!
I think they've got real women instead of young boys doing the high notes!
