Mozart - Requiem: III. Sequenzia: 6. Lacrimosa

[PoochiMoochi]

After earing Evanescence's song "Lacrymosa" i feel really good with this one, even if it has got a sad theme it's wonderful to ear both of the versions!

@oskar17mx : The best version I ever heard is from cd : Wiener Philharmoniker with Herber Von Karajan - Deutsche Grammophon collection. Available in HMV

[SDCmorg]

Love it! Mozart himself was known to push the performing tradition toward the dramatic when he played or conducted. Bet he'd have loved to hear this.

[oskar17mx]

Hi.. hey.. is there a complete Requiem CD you recommend me??... or is this a CD??.. please help!!.. i would like to have the whole Requiem

[Doug19752533]

excellent tempo.

[BanquetNZ]

I will need to listen to this a few more times. I have the image of Mozart, dead, in the movie, pouring rain, being thrown into a pauper's grave with a sprinkle of lime. Rivetting.

this is only a part of The Requiem in Re minor, but the best part

The Introtious isn't on D too?

[Nachtmarchen]

No he wasn't, soft sound, mildness and lack of rhythmic verve does not equal 'feeling'. Böhm was hardly in the league of great Mozarteans like Erich Kleiber, Josef Krips, Peter Maag, Igor Markevitch, Ferenc Fricsay or Fritz Busch. Then there's less consistent conductors who still made better Mozart recordings, among them Harnoncourt, Goodman, Klemperer, Davis, Marriner and many others. Böhm is overrated as a Mozart conductor, but should be remembered as a great Wagner and Strauss conductors.

[Nachtmarchen]

Open your ears, as much as I admire Bernstein as a conductor, he's never been a very good Mozart conductor (though Harnoncourt recorded a lot of lackluster interpretations as well, this is not one of them). Too heavy-handed, broad strokes and overly liberal tempo. This isn't a romantic piece, it's classical and though there is no explicit Italian tempo marking in the score it's probably an Andante, a walking, striding tempo - not a crawl as in the cases of Bernstein or Böhm.

[knightLynderic]

@Nachtmarchen It is fast for me too. Karajan was closer to Bernstein. As much as I admire Bohm I find it a bit faster than it should be.

[Nachtmarchen]

No. Bernstein's is exaggerated, far too slow, completely counter-intuitive given the rhythmic text-music relationship, the diction becomes unclear, the words fall apart. The tempo here allows for natural diction, the it allows the choir to adequately color the words with expression.

[Doug19752533]

i agree berstein is too slow. i have the recording and its painfully dragging (like rex tremendae) in many places.

[luvergirlscarer101]

@Nachtmarchen i agree totally.. we did this at school and although this is a different interpretation, it has to be.. the music would be boring if everyone did it exactly the same :)

[prafnoob]

[liosvark]

Lacrimosa is my favorite song.

But I am only impressed...

[Georg2610]

Absolutely wonderful.

[Dyam34]

amazing

[Sedicee]

Do you have the Amen??

Thats like my favourtite part

[Nachtmarchen]

The Amen fugue is not part of the Süssmayr Requiem, and thus not part of the Beyer revision either. Sorry.

[Pinkhasov]

Wow you can hear all the strings, but all at the perfect tone. this one is better but i wish i had seen a video.
