L' esecuzione di questo inarrivabile requiem da parte di Bernstein è ultimativa ed insuperabile. Nessuno come lui riesce ad esaltare il lirismo della partitura. Tale lirismo raggiunge la sua vetta nel "Agnus dei", ma anche nel "Recordare" e nel "Lacrimosa". Nessuna altra esecuzione può essere paragonata a questa. Sublime e immortale Mozart, grande ed immenso Bernstein.
Ne sono consapevole della grandezza del maestro, ma per molto tempo ho ascoltato la messa di requiem diretta da Karl Bhom, energica, avvolgente magnificamente interpretata.
@@tesfawuncadamuro Ho accolto il tuo consiglio ed ho ascoltato l' esecuzione di Bohm. E' veramente eccellente, ma, perdonami, io preferisco l' esecuzione di Bernstein. Lenny (mi perdonerà il Maestro questa confidenza), con i suoi tempi dilatati rende meglio il meraviglioso lirismo di alcuni numeri. L' esecuzione di Bohm però è grandemente superiore nel "Tuba mirum" dove, avendo a disposizione 4 cantanti autentici fluoriclasse, il memorabile incipit di Berry prosegue in maniera eccellente con gli altri cantanti e si conclude con la voce angelica della Janovitz. Io sono un grande ammiratore di Bernstein e, forse, sono condizionato da questo, infatti lo giudico il miglio direttore di tutti i tempi. Ricordo solo la sua esecuzione dell' integrale delle sinfonie di Mahler, credo insuperabile.
BEST VERSION if this masterpiece EVER!!!!! Bernstein and orchestra and singers and choir are incredible here. I played the timpany part at a performance in our Doomchurch with the music conservatory orchestra. An amazing thing that will always be a treasure in my heart. It sounds simple, but it is one of the most difficult pieces to play following a conductor, reasoning the slow tempos and beats and expression to it.
As I sit here listening to this magnificent work, it is the first time I gave heard it in this new, slower rendition. It is magnificent! I am across the street from Brooklyn's Greenwood cemetery, where Lenny himself is buried. I wonder if Lenny is listening along with me. I miss my husband. He died just over a month ago. We used to listen to great works of music, snuggling together, oohing and aging at the sounds as well as the sensation of being close. As Lenny dedicated this performance to the memory of his late wife, I remember my husband. Maybe it was preordained that I would discover this great performance only after your death, so that you could enjoy it with me from heaven
I'm so sorry for your deep loss, Patti. P.S. That sounds like a wonderful way to listen and share. I wish my ex- and I had done that. But we did get to perform it, under a beloved conductor, with many dear friends, which was unforgettable.
This is Leonard Bernstein. He was able to read with correct accent- German. We miss him. A great artist like Maestro Bernstein always leaves us too soon.
Why oh why It happens in everything that is good and brilliant taken too soon mindyou in this case dozens of cigarettes a day did not help on top of his lung conditions Asthma and Emphysema .To live to 72yrs was quite extroadinary R.I.P Maestro Bernstein and thank you for all your musicality.
I miss him too. My late parents knew him well when he came to Atlanta. I was about 7 or 8 years old on my first encounter with him. He told my mom and dad I was a cute little girl. I even said a few words to him of what I knew in German. I also had fond memories of seeing him perform on TV doing Verdi's 'Requiem' during the Easter holidays
I was able to attend his 70th birthday party at Tanglewood in the Berkshire Mountains in 1988. Quite an event. Went on for hours. Paid $100 per seat and we weren't close enough to be underneath a roof. Watched it from video screens provided. The love and admiration was everywhere.
God. This is the best I heard. I understand Bernstein dedicated this performance to the memory of his wife. A bit of advice re the commercials: get ad-blocker on chrome, it stops them all. You can just hear Mozart and Bernstein, uninterrupted. Nothing beats this.
Bernstein Mozart Requiem Fantastic performance! All PERFECT! Perfect chorus, perfect soloists and orchestra in a glorious setting. I was fortunate to sing this with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (as a chorus member) to a sold out performance in the mid '80's at Carnegie Hall.
I camped almost next to this church on a European bicycle tour in 1986. If I had known that this was to have taken place two years later I would have waited there for it! Sublime.
I sing this piece every year with my church choir. We dedicate it to all the deceased on our parish. I sometimes cannot keep from sobbing during the Kyrie.
This work gives me goosebumps. Incredibly powerful and divine. I wish we got to see more of this serious side of Mozart, because he could do it like nobody else. A monumental work of pure brilliance. And this performance is incredible. This performance of Lacrimosa is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Peut-être la version la plus grandiose, la plus sensible, la plus magnifique, du REQUIEM de Mozart, que j'avais découverte en 1994, sur un CD qui appartenait à mon amie. Merci pour ce cadeau et ce souvenir, beau... jusqu'à l'infini !
Still loving this recording 36 years later. So happy it is on-line and I don't have to bring my record player to work! :) Forever one of the greatest sources of the sublime and joy all in one performance!

Danke fürs Hochladen, dieses Stück Musikgeschichte begleitet mich seit vielen Jahren. In guten und schlechten Zeiten schafft es Freude und Trost durch seine Schönheit. Danke Maestro Bernstein mit allen wunderbaren Akteuren. 🙏
Magnificent, spooky in final analysis, this performance reveals the greatness and timelessness of Mozart's Requiem Mass. Leonard Bernstein delivers, then departs sans applause, acknowledging only the principal players with affectionate whispers and kisses, shunning all with the insistence that this music is beyond applause.
Simplemente agradezco esa gran música, llevada tan magistralmente. Llega en nuestro corazón y solo puedo y quiero aplaudir a ese grandísimo maestro. Muchas gracias, ojalá nunca mueran esos gratis recuerdos de aquellos tiempos. Maestro, gracias otra vez.
Features subtleties of harmony, and carves out strong phrases better than other conductors. The performance "speaks" the depths of the Requiem texts most effectively. More than just the notes.
L’ascolto del Requiem di Mozart è un’esperienza sconvolgente che tocca intimamente e spiritualmente il nostro animo. In particolare, i tempi più dilatati della splendida esecuzione di Leonard Bernstein, evocano immagini, ricordi e sensazioni del dolore quello vero, profondo inconsolabile della perdita di una persona cara. L’apice viene raggiunto durante il “lacrimosa”, il cui ascolto lascia senza fiato con gli occhi tristi e lucidi. L’assenza di appulsi voluta da Leonard Bernstein è il giusto corollario a questa silenziosa esplosione di emozioni.
Caro Francesco, ha proprio ragione: questo Requiem è particolarmente intenso. Io non mi stanco mai di ascoltarlo, anche le singole parti separatamente. La direzione di Leonard Bernstein, secondo me, è molto sensibile, così come la bravura dei solisti. In particolare mi piace Jerry Hadley, peccato che ho letto proprio ieri che si è suicidato... RIP accompagnato da questa musica meravigliosa. Un caro saluto da Brescia Italia 💕🙏✨
A message to everyone who is commenting that the tempos are slow. This is a record of a LIVE performance NOT a commercial recording. The performance is given in a large cathedral which will create reverberation problems for conductor and musicians. If the tempo is taken at those expected in the acoustic of a concert hall you would just get a garbled mess of notes clashing into each other. Bernsteins recordings on DG and Sony are both slightly quicker but no less moving. Treat this for what it is. A live performance in a Cathedral try thinking before writing
If you look at the novello 1850 organ accompaniment of this edited by Vincent Novello (1781-1861) available on IMSLP he has tempo metronome markings which are even slower than this! Check your facts. Novello overlapped Mozart by 10 years and wrote a long comprehensive introduction to the piece where he moans about people performing it too quickly in 1850 and not in keeping with mozarts style!!
It is a mass of the dead, expresses pain and loss of a loved one, begs God for the eternal rest and salvation of his soul and the forgiveness of his sins, is a moment of deep reflection, and the music magnificently expresses in its depth and its slow time, honoring the feelings and the supplication to the highest, is not music of the Moulin Rouge for the love of God. !!!
@@RobinBeaumont I'm usually of the opinion that Mozart's works are performed far too slow, but the Requiem is definitely one of those works that should be taken at about the tempo that Bernstein is conducting it at. It's of a very different character to most of Mozart's other works.
Just an incredibly beautiful and moving piece of art. Musical perfection. At sixty years of age the introduction still moves me to tears. I weep openly for this absolutely vile contemporary world in which we reside. The world could freely partake in enjoying this music but instead wishes to perpetuate contempt and wickedness upon this beautiful planet in which we all reside.
La sensibilità di quest' uomo è talmente grande, profonda e di conoscenza e sensibilità che mai nessuno potrà eguagliarlo. Caro Lenny grazie per tutto quello che ci hai lasciato.

"Introitus" means not "Introduction", but "Introit". It's the text that begins the Mass. Also, "Awesome King" is the incorrect translation, because the full first line of that stanza is "Rex tremendae majestatis", which means not "Awesome King" but "King of tremendous majesty". "Lacrimosa" is not "Tears" but "Tearful", as the full phrase is "Lacrimosa dies illa", "Tearful is that day". Everything else is correct.
Mi capita di ascoltare questa Messa almeno due tre volte a settimana ,è sempre una grande emozione ,mi entra bel corpo e nella mente .Grandissimo ed eterno Mozart ,grandissimo Bernstein, la mia interpretazione preferita ,bravissimi orchestra e coro .GRAZIE
This is Bernstein. But it's also, more, the composer Mozart. How wonderful a grand old conductor near the end of his life could give such reverence and respect to one who died at less than half his age, along with the whole orchestra and the whole auditorium, and more, to the very source of the human spirit and of human life.
Una esecuzione altamente poetica e travolgente. E pure qui, come sempre, si manifesta la straordinaria empatia del Maestro, il suo affetto, il suo trasporto verso i musicisti, la sua capacità di coinvolgimento. E il silenzio che avvolge la chiesa dopo la fine del Requiem è più commovente e intenso di un lungo e fragoroso applauso.
This is absolutely brilliant!! I've heard several performances of this work, and have several different recordings ... but this ... is something wonderful. Lennie gives all the musicians in this performance brilliant direction. ... the bells at the end, the lack of applause, gives it such ... gravitas - I hope that's an appropriate word here.
I literally wish 😭 I knew how to loop this recording of the first 65 seconds. It’s so beautiful...the maestro’s interpretation. It probably makes heir Mozart himself cry 😢
Que dire ? C’est tout simplement magnifique, ici tout le savoir faire d’un immense chef d’orchestre qui rend hommage à Mozart d’une façon magnifique ❤❤❤
Magnificent! What a treat to see/hear Lenny conduct the Requiem. Even near the end of his life and not in good health he was still charismatic and handsome. And what an incredibly beautiful Baroque church this was performed in.
Statisticians checked the **ACTUAL NUMBERS** with church officials, and guess what? In America, right now, only 18% of people attend church. In England, it's down to 1% (no lie)...
His Lacrimosa is the best interpretation. You can really digest the despair and desperation at his tempo. Also I love how no one clapped after the requiem ended. They just took it all in and left.
my beloved mum, Tania Dobreva Rhodes, sang the mezzo soprano part in Mozart's Requiem, I always think of her when hearing it, always brings tears. May she RIP now. Magnificent performance all choristers, soloists, orchestra, Leonard Bernstein was tremendous
Dovrebbero vietare per legge di mettere le pubblicità nel bel mezzo di questi capolavori 😤... Interpretazione meravigliosa del maestro e grande esecuzione solenne.
Какое чудо,что есть запись такого великолепного исполнения шедевра гениального Моцарта ! И какое невероятное кощунство - врываться в эту божественную музыку с кусками рекламы!
To uploader: thanks for posting this exquisite masterpiece. The complex musical details appear effortless - just like Mozart. Since Mozart wrote this for his own funeral, he would be pleased that Bernstein got it ALL right. Magical, unforgettably haunting.
bernstein is a genious , his requiem of mozart is amazing , a poetic , fantastic music , a marvelous dream , the voices are unforgetables thanks maistro bernstein
Probably Wolfgang did not even know what a commercial was. However, he would be proud to know that this Requiem is one of the finest works of composition that there ever was! I sang it years ago and so did a lot others. One hundred years from now, this piece will still be being performed all over the world.
WOW! Just a couple of years after that breathless spectacular performance, Maestro Bernstein departed from this world. Appropriately, that performance should also be named, Bernstein Requiem!
Coming back again and again. Being an Architect (NDArchitect, Colborne, Canada), this supports my personality (I almost was a musician and as a last minute change I switched to becoming an Architect remaining in love with any good music), and my working habits and discipline
I agree. I've think I've heard just about all of the performances of this magnificent piece, and Leonard Bernstein nails it like no other. He brings the very soul of wrath to life.
Bernstein's is the Requiem I grew up on. I had an early recording and played it constantly as a youngster. His is still the deepest and most comfortingl
Selon moi, c,est une tres bonne interprétation du Requiem en Re mineur de Mozart....le choeur est tres bon,,,l,orchestre tres tres bon Bernstein est magnanime,,,tres émotif,,tres expressif et en même temps : direction ferme et tres précise Je crois que Mozart serait content
Such a performance of requiem is truly honourable. Requiems are not composed for commercial purposes. And Bernstein is aware of the profundity, sacredness and pays tribute to the composition by standing in silence at the end. He shows his deep humanity!
Might be too much to ask, but is anyone here in the comment section feeling the urge to translate the pre-concert lecture into English for some of us? My German is not sufficient to understand the Maestro, but I believe his words are of great importance. I and many other non-German speaking viewers thank you in advance!
I think the soloists are Marie Mc Laughlin (sop), Maria Ewing (mezzo), Jerry Hedley (tenor), Cornelius Hauptmann (bass). One of many fine interpretations of a challenging and rewarding work.
UA-cam has clearly NO respect for classical music. You'd never see an ad in the middle of a Beyonce song, but they will interrupt Mozart just anywhere. This kind of culture deffamation should be regulated!
I am absolutely livid at this intrusion of adds into such a masterpiece. Livid

The recording by von Karajan is far, far superior

This is my favorite recording of this. I especially love the way the performance ends, with silence and a feeling of reverence.

I never grow tired of hearing this. This is the best performance of this piece, IMO. Such a reverent tempo.
This is a great interpretation. One of my favorites. It's slower and more solemn that most others, which I really appreciate.
Agree. Solemn.
This Lacrimosa was an eye opener. I think this is exactly what Mozart had in mind. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Yes, it's slower .. but that's exactly what's absolutely amazing.

If the tempo is taken at those expected in the acoustic of a concert hall you would just get a garbled mess of notes clashing into each other. Bernsteins recordings on DG and Sony are both slightly quicker but no less moving.
Treat this for what it is. A live performance in a Cathedral try thinking before writing
If you look at the novello 1850 organ accompaniment of this edited by Vincent Novello (1781-1861) available on IMSLP he has tempo metronome markings which are even slower than this! Check your facts. Novello overlapped Mozart by 10 years and wrote a long comprehensive introduction to the piece where he moans about people performing it too quickly in 1850 and not in keeping with mozarts style!!
Exactly why concerts of large orchestras and chorus should not be given on cathedrals. The setting is beautiful but the acoustics are dreadful.
It is a mass of the dead, expresses pain and loss of a loved one, begs God for the eternal rest and salvation of his soul and the forgiveness of his sins, is a moment of deep reflection, and the music magnificently expresses in its depth and its slow time, honoring the feelings and the supplication to the highest, is not music of the Moulin Rouge for the love of God. !!!
@@RobinBeaumont I'm usually of the opinion that Mozart's works are performed far too slow, but the Requiem is definitely one of those works that should be taken at about the tempo that Bernstein is conducting it at. It's of a very different character to most of Mozart's other works.
Just an incredibly beautiful and moving piece of art. Musical perfection. At sixty years of age the introduction still moves me to tears. I weep openly for this absolutely vile contemporary world in which we reside. The world could freely partake in enjoying this music but instead wishes to perpetuate contempt and wickedness upon this beautiful planet in which we all reside.
This masterpiece is marked as KV 626 and first part starts at 6:26.
626 is the number-value of the Greek word 'ourane' meaning 'O Heaven' (Rev 18.20). Seems appropriate.
La sensibilità di quest' uomo è talmente grande, profonda e di conoscenza e sensibilità che mai nessuno potrà eguagliarlo. Caro Lenny grazie per tutto quello che ci hai lasciato.

"Introitus" means not "Introduction", but "Introit". It's the text that begins the Mass.
Also, "Awesome King" is the incorrect translation, because the full first line of that stanza is "Rex tremendae majestatis", which means not "Awesome King" but "King of tremendous majesty".
"Lacrimosa" is not "Tears" but "Tearful", as the full phrase is "Lacrimosa dies illa", "Tearful is that day".
Everything else is correct.

Thank you
Mi capita di ascoltare questa Messa almeno due tre volte a settimana ,è sempre una grande emozione ,mi entra bel corpo e nella mente .Grandissimo ed eterno Mozart ,grandissimo Bernstein, la mia interpretazione preferita ,bravissimi orchestra e coro .GRAZIE
Amazing tempi…Lacrimosa is unbelievable. Wow. Shivers every time on the “Amen”.
Das ist wohl sehr berührend, Bersntein spricht Deutsch und über seine Frau.Dieses Dokument muß erhalten bleiben. Danke
This is Bernstein. But it's also, more, the composer Mozart. How wonderful a grand old conductor near the end of his life could give such reverence and respect to one who died at less than half his age, along with the whole orchestra and the whole auditorium, and more, to the very source of the human spirit and of human life.
Una esecuzione altamente poetica e travolgente. E pure qui, come sempre, si manifesta la straordinaria empatia del Maestro, il suo affetto, il suo trasporto verso i musicisti, la sua capacità di coinvolgimento. E il silenzio che avvolge la chiesa dopo la fine del Requiem è più commovente e intenso di un lungo e fragoroso applauso.
This is absolutely brilliant!! I've heard several performances of this work, and have several different recordings ... but this ... is something wonderful. Lennie gives all the musicians in this performance brilliant direction. ... the bells at the end, the lack of applause, gives it such ... gravitas - I hope that's an appropriate word here.
Wunderschön
The slowness at the beginning is necessary. This is the right rythm for this requiem.
Agree.
I literally wish 😭 I knew how to loop this recording of the first 65 seconds. It’s so beautiful...the maestro’s interpretation.
It probably makes heir Mozart himself cry 😢
Too slow.
I 10000% agree
I really like the reqquuuuiiiiieeeemmm fugal entry in the beginning.
My favorite piece, this is the best rendition of this piece on UA-cam, slow and absolutely fantastic.
Que dire ? C’est tout simplement magnifique, ici tout le savoir faire d’un immense chef d’orchestre qui rend hommage à Mozart d’une façon magnifique ❤❤❤
This is the most powerful rendition I’ve listened to in years
Magnificent! What a treat to see/hear Lenny conduct the Requiem. Even near the end of his life and not in good health he was still charismatic and handsome. And what an incredibly beautiful Baroque church this was performed in.
Church bells... reminding us all that this is a sacred piece... above all.
Statisticians checked the **ACTUAL NUMBERS** with church officials, and guess what? In America, right now, only 18% of people attend church. In England, it's down to 1% (no lie)...
@@CLASSICALFAN100 ok
What a wonderful overture played by the bassoon!!! Wowww!!! 60 seconds of pure magic
We like it slow. We Need it slow to understand the genius of Mozart
His Lacrimosa is the best interpretation. You can really digest the despair and desperation at his tempo. Also I love how no one clapped after the requiem ended. They just took it all in and left.
It's a requiem. You're not supposed to clap at a funeral.
After 11 years listening to this recording today I noticed how bad are the audio, but Bernstein's conducting makes the video worth of lasting forever.
my beloved mum, Tania Dobreva Rhodes, sang the mezzo soprano part in Mozart's Requiem, I always think of her when hearing it, always brings tears. May she RIP now. Magnificent performance all choristers, soloists, orchestra, Leonard Bernstein was tremendous
Splendid! Solemn, slow and violent, beautifully articulated and pure latin choir... Rare and precious, a gem
You cannot surpass this level of sublime.
Dovrebbero vietare per legge di mettere le pubblicità nel bel mezzo di questi capolavori 😤...
Interpretazione meravigliosa del maestro e grande esecuzione solenne.
How dare UA-cam interrupt Maestro Bernstein and the music of Mozart!! UA-cam should be ashamed! Shame on you!
... I thinking if it's not the best perfomance of Requiem I've heard. Great phrases and emotional singing especially soloists. Thank you, maestro!
Какое чудо,что есть запись такого великолепного исполнения шедевра гениального Моцарта ! И какое невероятное кощунство - врываться в эту божественную музыку с кусками рекламы!
To uploader: thanks for posting this exquisite masterpiece. The complex musical details appear effortless - just like Mozart. Since Mozart wrote this for his own funeral, he would be pleased that Bernstein got it ALL right. Magical, unforgettably haunting.
The audacity of interrupting Mozart's Requiem with ads 😱😱😱
Really, this is a sin ... just add AD Block Plugin, mate !
Get and install AdBlock pro
bernstein is a genious , his requiem of mozart is amazing , a poetic , fantastic music , a marvelous dream , the voices are unforgetables thanks maistro bernstein
Orchestral performance flawless. Oh and the choir... Stunning
this is the most beautiful version of the Requiem I have listened to ..... epic
The soloists are so in sync and balance. And they sound great. No wayward, hotdog vibratos jumping out or anything!
Probably Wolfgang did not even know what a commercial was. However, he would be proud to know that this Requiem is one of the finest works of composition that there ever was! I sang it years ago and so did a lot others. One hundred years from now, this piece will still be being performed all over the world.
Very good!! The camera work is also impeccable!
True. Excellent to the point. 💗
Bernstein, Mozart...pure genius... the people at that church, they don't know how lucky they were
I think they probably knew it was a once in a lifetime experience.
Léonard Bernstein que dire ? Un chef d’orchestre exceptionnel qui entre dans le panthéon des grands , des très grands. Respect Maestro ❤❤
I have listened to many different versions of Requiem recording and concerts but still, nothing quite more appeals to me than this Bernstein version.
This is artistically SO strong , to the point and emotionally taxing! Bernstein could reach the core of everything!
mette holm Best comment I have read for ages .....Yes Bernstein was all seeing in many respects.
The Voca me portion of Confutatis
always tears me up. For this is how I envision Angels singing when I lay my head down to eternal rest!
Best interpretation of the requiem I've ever heard. Holy shit.
Truly what a performance and interpretation. Unbelievable!
WOW! Just a couple of years after that breathless spectacular performance, Maestro Bernstein departed from this world. Appropriately, that performance should also be named, Bernstein Requiem!
Megható és felemelő!! Zseniális művész!!!
Unique and best execution! Meant for a slower tempo only conducted appropriately by Bernstein!!! Beautiful!
Coming back again and again. Being an Architect (NDArchitect, Colborne, Canada), this supports my personality (I almost was a musician and as a last minute change I switched to becoming an Architect remaining in love with any good music), and my working habits and discipline
Out of all the recording of Mozart's Requiem, this is definitely my favorite.
Più frequento le sue esecuzioni più mi convinco che Bernstein sia il più grande di tutti: una Luminosa Intelligenza al servizio della Musica.
@Edmond Up OP
his dies irae is the best in my opinion from other Maestros like Karajan, Davis, Gardiner
I agree. I've think I've heard just about all of the performances of this magnificent piece, and Leonard Bernstein nails it like no other. He brings the very soul of wrath to life.
It's too fast
me conmueve la existencia hasta el punto de llegar a las lagrimas, excelente
El eterno Mozart y el gran conductor Leonard. Fantástico 👏
The "Benedictus" brought tears to my eyes...just lovely.
Bernstein's is the Requiem I grew up on. I had an early recording and played it constantly as a youngster. His is still the deepest and most comfortingl
Selon moi, c,est une tres bonne interprétation du Requiem en Re mineur de Mozart....le choeur est tres bon,,,l,orchestre tres tres bon Bernstein est magnanime,,,tres émotif,,tres expressif et en même temps : direction ferme et tres précise Je crois que Mozart serait content
alain raymond Completement d'accord.
Such a performance of requiem is truly honourable. Requiems are not composed for commercial purposes. And Bernstein is aware of the profundity, sacredness and pays tribute to the composition by standing in silence at the end. He shows his deep humanity!
Wunderbar und ergreifend
Might be too much to ask, but is anyone here in the comment section feeling the urge to translate the pre-concert lecture into English for some of us? My German is not sufficient to understand the Maestro, but I believe his words are of great importance. I and many other non-German speaking viewers thank you in advance!
This is the best rendition of this incredible piece, imo. It's Leonard Bernstein, that's why. The soloists are also amazing.
Vielen Dank für diese Aufladung/Many thanks for this upload!
PERFECT TEMPO!!! Bravo maestro Bernstein!!
Undoubtfully. This is the tempo!
I think the soloists are Marie Mc Laughlin (sop), Maria Ewing (mezzo), Jerry Hedley (tenor), Cornelius Hauptmann (bass). One of many fine interpretations of a challenging and rewarding work.
Sublime.
Standing silente ovation as you wanted, heaven was your limit.
Bravo Maestro.
🌷
The best Requiem performance.
A brilliant performance!
Opera Eccelsa di un uomo geniale!
Meravigliosa interpretazione! Grazie mille!
Wow...Bernstein conducting this Choir, in this setting, performing the Requiem hasn't broken 20,000 views!!!!! I hope that is some type of error!
More than half a million in April '22.
One of the best renditions of Mozart's Requiem
