Herbert von Karajan, Berliinin Filharmoonikot - W.A.Mozart: Requiem (CD)

This CD is part of Deutsche Grammophon's acclaimed Karajan Master Recordings series (catalogue number 477 7164), bringing together two of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s best-known sacred masterpieces: the dramatic Requiem in D minor (K. 626), left unfinished at the composer's death in 1791, and the festive Coronation Mass (K. 317). Conducted by Herbert von Karajan in original 1975 recordings, the performances feature the Berlin Philharmonic (Berliner Philharmoniker), the Wiener Singverein choir, and vocal soloists Anna Tomowa-Sintow (soprano), Agnes Baltsa (alto), Werner Krenn (tenor), and José van Dam (bass). Released in November 2007 as a remastered Digipak edition, this 78-minute album showcases Karajan's signature grand, lush, and richly sonorous approach to Mozart.
