I grew up in Vienna and heard the Requiem performed live on several occasions and in different churches or chapels, including St. Stephan's Cathedral (where the Solti recording was made much later). I am, of course, partial to the sound of the Vienna Philharmonic, and the soloists on the Solti recording include Cecilia Bartoli - what more can I say? The quality of the recording permits a clarity of reproduction that is reminiscent of my Summicron-M...(admittedly a stretch but back on topic?)
