            Brahm's Deutsches Requiem is best interpreted by Elizabeth
Schwarzkopf and accompanied by
            Dietrich Fischer Dieskau - conductor was Otto Klemperer

            This is the best rendintion thus far

Luis,
I saw Thomas Hampson at the Last Night of the Proms a few years ago -
wonderful. Thomas Quasthoff is a fellow Hannoverian and a lovely person too
(not that one mutually excludes the other :-) ). When it comes to baritones,
Hermann Prey took a lot of beating too.

I'm quite impressed with a CD of Brahms Deutsches Requiem I picked up the
other day  - BTW, has anyone heard the recent recording by Simon Rattle and
Quasthoff? - Prague Philharmonic Choir, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra,
Sinopoli, Lucia Popp and Wolfgang Brendel an excellent DG recording. Funny,
Deutsche Grammophon was founded in Hannover , Emil Berliner worked just down
the road from here. Come to think of it, Telefunken tape (wire ) recorders
and the PAL TV system  and Pelikan Pens are from Hannover too. Nothing much
happens here these days though, the  world wasn't even told that the World's
Fair (EXPO 2000) took place here - a wonderful event but nobody came :-)
Greetings from Hannover Douglas
