One of the amazing advantages of the internet is that someone gets to post and we get to listen to some of the great recordings of the past. I had the privilege of being the producer for these recordings with John Eliot Gardiner and these wonderful singers and musicians, that we recorded for Philips at the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona. It is great to hear the production again and to notice that the recorded sound and the mixes still work. Enjoy!

@Martha de Francisco : Oh, Damnation! ! ! .... now I realize that this recording is not the same as the one I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated, which was posted probably 5 to 6 years ago. This imposter-one is a poor variant of the first -- mangled, at the end, with the replacement of the original taping with a very bland still-shot of the theater's ceiling for several minutes. All of the former familiar commentaries , including my own comments in which I poured out my gratitude, joy and ecstasy over the original, are now in the dumpster. All of the final audience applause and enthusiasm, and Sir John's final bows -- gone! Rubbed out! This is a surely a case where bad taste and non-artistic judgment win over fine, high-quality production work! In the original, your production crew took great care to capture with your technology and precision teamwork the grandiosity and success of that performance by Gardiner and the artists. Very grateful to you for that -- not many producers have gone far enough to accomplish that, IMHO. Did Google and KZread have some other motivation - besides increased marginal profit - to throw away the original posting and replace it with this poor bastardized substitute?

This is the definitive performance of the requiem as far as I'm concerned. I can never get through it without shedding a tear.

This performance took place exactly 200 years after the dead of Mozart (05-12-1991). That day there were hundreds of performances of the Requiem all over the world to pay tribute to the genius. I don't think any other man in history have ever received a tribute of similar magnitude.

Wow!! All the singers sing from memory!! Impressive!!

My favorite set of soloists in this piece. The fugue during the Domine Jesu is perfection.

Dimanche 19 février 2023, 21h. Toutes et tous chantent sans partition. Choriste moi-même, c’est colossal comme travail. Justesse, fondu, ampleur, rondeur des voix ! Hallucinant. Instruments au son ample et lumineux. Conduite magistrale et totalement engagėe! J’ai ėcoutė, pleuré, chanté, fredonné, arrosé mes plantes I-Pods aux oreilles… En ces temps troublés, pleins de bruits de guerres, de pestes, de folies meurtrières, de dėsorganisations intimes et profondes, de folie et d’incroyance en notre capacité de nous relever et ã connecter à plus Grand que soi pour renouveler les fibres de nos cœurs et de nos âmes, ceci est un baume et une consolation. Cher Mozart, et chers vous tous, que de beauté et de bonheur! Merci du fond du coeur!

This remains one of my favorite performances recorded on video of any work of music, at any time in history... Each of the four featured performers are among the greatest ever SATBs, in particular Bonney and Rolfe-Johnson... What is so very remarkable is that, as astounding as these voices are individually, they blend and complement one another as well as any ever could... So often, voices that are outstanding as soloists don't blend well with other like voices... The ensemble singing achieved here is absolutely miraculous and without equal...

This paramount　 performance embodies Mozart’s musical aesthetics

All of Mozart‘s work is off the charts, and universal

When lacrimosa starts the violin hit me like a sord in my heart I know it’s my Wolfe last moments

I have become a huge fan of Sir John , via KZread . He is a wonderful conductor ✅😃👏🎵🎶🤩

Classical music is a source of solace in a fast-paced world. The delicate piano keys, the sweeping violin melodies, and the grandeur of the orchestra offer a sanctuary for introspection and reflection. It's a timeless art that resonates across ages. 🎹🌌

brilliant and finished representation, exquisite performance

The greatest performance of Mozart's Requiem ever.

Merveilleuse interprétation ,superbe orchestre. Monsieur GARDINER vous êtes un très grand chef d'orchestre

Gosh this takes me back to the choral society days and this was our favourite piece …. HOWEVER we sung it in a church concert… We were halfway through in the evening when a thunderstorm brewed up … still remember that to this day

Played on Thanksgiving eve 2023. Thank you for this. Greatest performance. Makes u care about the "issues" so to speak...

the best version of this.

I watched this on TV when it was broadcast live in 1991 (hosted by Richard Baker). My first real venture into this sort of music. I was hooked. Absolutely beautiful. 💖

Amazing! IMO, this is the best rendition of Mozart's masterpiece and I've seen several performances by others.

Amazing choir, all sing their parts by heart.

so fitting these period instruments and perfect size orchestra for this Requiem. not that there are not other good versions with larger symphony orchestras, but the sound here is so intimate and beautiful. thank you Cantus 5

The best version you can find nowadays on Internet, far from the second!

This work is glorious-this version really does it justice. The choice and combination of these soloists was inspired. Thanks to all concerned, especially WA Mozart..

this is from all what I have heard clearly the best recording here on youtube: Karajan, Böhm, you name it - regarding ensemble, soloists, tempi, articulation, dynamics, phrasing, etc., etc. - just a sheer delight!

I’d say Hogwood’s is the best. Emma Kirkby sings with the purest voice. Tempi are perfect. I’d say JEG based his performance on Hogwoods.

Outstanding performance in every way. Even though it 'could' slow-down a bit in most instances, I've gotten used to it and now rather enjoy its robust clarity and crispness. The vocals (both soloists and choir) are especially top quality, especially with the addition of countertenors (adding 'richness and solidity to the alto vocal line). The orchestra is outstanding. Bravo!!!

One of my favorite performances of a timeless masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

Looks like this one was played at Palau de la Música in Barcelona. Outstanding performance.

Magnifique ! La meilleure version du requiem de Mozart !

Magnificent. Intensely moving. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

Requiem неизбежно волнует при каждой встрече с ним. Спасибо!

This Requiem is the stronghold of the soul

Die Arbeit von Perfektionisten - die Mozart-Einspielungen von Gardiner liebe ich ...

Thanks!

La migliore versione mai registrata ed eseguita. Me sento speciale per lo stesso compleanno di Mozart e espero di avere questa versione riprodotta in occasione della mia morte.

When the world crumbles, when the structures of a civilization falter, it is good to return to that which in history does not flex, but on the contrary recovers courage, gathers the separated, pacifies without bruising. It’s worth recalling that the genius of creation is also moving in an history devoted to the destruction !

I think it's a performance like Gardiner, who is also an authority on classical instrument orchestras. The sound is limitless, close to Mozart's time, the interpretation is modern, and the music is impressive. I think the original score is the Beyer's version, but I think it's a very moderate harmonic. Thank you for uploading it to KZread.

Exquisite ! Thank you so much.

Beautiful voices. Excellent!

it''s magical....

John Eliot Gardiner forever!

Waouh, thanks Martha for your great work.... My favourite. God bless you.

If only this piece of Mozart music was the memory about extincted mankind in the future - with Michelangelo's Pieta- they would show that the late mankind deserves honour and reached greatness. Anything ever happened in our history - we can be proud to be human.

The answer, sadly, is money

There is a lot of great music. There’s also very rare, epic and everyone loves it. And then there is #Requiem by #Mozart … It came from the heavens, in melody and words as a lecture to all humanity . -Against all odds, against “ #Pandora’sBoxParadox”(my concept) And all the struggle human has, against the will of all the gods of the Olympus.😮 … Love Love prevails Never stopping love, beyond words, descriptions, concepts. Absolute love. Unstained by language. Love as the very purpose of one’s existence. A journey worth living… #Bogoslowsky 🦁🤴 .

Gardiner’s Bach and Mozart are like Solti’s Wagner; “old school” in the very best sense of the expression.

I absolutely love these old video concerts of the past, with the great conductors. Gardiner is one of my favorites and his choir is quite exceptional. This is my favorite performance of this work I have heard so far. Thank you so much for posting this. Also on a related note.... another one of my favorite conductors is Robert Shaw. I have been trying to find video footage/concerts of him as well but there is little to none of him available. I know that he televised many of his Christmas concerts for example; and as far as footage of his performances in general, I know there must be plenty in existence. For instance, the documentary on him; "Man of Many Voices" excerpts many concerts of his, such as Handel "Messiah", a Brahms "German Requiem", and a clip of a Christmas concert with Morehouse College Glee Club. Do you think you could post a concert video of his? Anything of his.... I would be so grateful to be able to see one, if possible. :-)

I can't decide if I like more the huge sound of the 1991 Solti performance, or this smaller, more precise interpretation. The Solti bowls you over, while you can hear every nuance of the score in this version.

i prefer this, it's closer to how it would have been performed in Mozart's time. they're also using period instruments which is fantastic. there are so many layers and nuances in this piece and Gardiner and the performers do a wonderful job
