wasn't too sure of the slower tempo at first but I'm completely besotted with the whole performance now. Thanks for the upload :)

@13Rodd I used to think the rex tremendae by Bohm was too slow, but when you compare it to the Handel music that the British play for the coronation of the British monarch, it makes sense. The monarch is walking in, and the music is slow and majestic.

me hace muy feliz

This simply dwarves all other performances onYouTube. Suddenly everything else is too fast. :) Bohm rules!

Who manages not to cry at 7:57 is a wuss!

@Yo192837465 ..inspiration...that it is not uniquely religious and if it is, does not come out of divinity, or a particular religion but of aspects of that religion for example; fear of death, the triumph of good over 'evil'...ect....which are human NOT religious....if only there had been a God to save Mozart's life and extend it so he would be able to write more masterpieces wouldn't you agree my pseudo-intellectual friend?

[Yo192837465]

@SimonDeMontfort1972 My dear friend, unfortunately your faculties and capacities of logic are lacking thereof the proper formation known to many as an education. Your arrogance on youtube demonstrates a pitiful self absorption that quite honestly, out of my consideration for the possibly less fortunate than myself, will concede. Yes SimonDeMontfort1972, YOU ARE RIGHT!! The fact that Verdi was an atheist and still composed masterpieces says nothing about Mozart...but it does say something about..

@SimonDeMontfort1972 Did you read his biographies? I don't recall this statement about religion. But it was a long time ago that I read them. At his time no person was questioning Christianity who lived in the Christian influenced countries. Whole Europe was Christian influenced. People were burning "witches" and nobody said anything. Composers were contracted to write for the Christian Church. Bach, too. I see eternity in their music and love and passion. Its pure art.
