Finally! I've never found anything to equal the astounding La Scala / Price / Cossotto / Von Karajan version that changed my life when I saw it live, in '67 at Expo. I waited 40 years for a recording to emerge proving my memory was not faulty, but that recording still doesn't do the choir justice. This. Finally. This is the chor I heard. Unbelievably magnificent. And as for Nilsson - well...
Yes, there is one other - live recorded in Stockholm, 1964 or 65, with her, bass Kim Borg, cond. S. Ehrling etc! All soloists was singers at Met . The chorus was from Belgrade , the best chorus of students - amateurs in the world at that time. You can found entire Requiem , but separated by attitudes.
@@adriand6883 On You Tube. Try this : RekviJem (j) , Nilsson , Stokholm , Krsmanovic as four keywords! Attitudes are separated but all Rekviem is there...
@@adriand6883 It is recorded in outdoors (summer festival). This, what we listen to, is made in a studio I think,( with much amplification of technical sound system ).
I think there are many ways for this movement to work. This is one of them. There are no amateurs and no callous metronomes in this performance, in my view. Also the orchestral textures come through beautifully. Perhaps not my favorite, but the majesty comes through. And Nilsson is, well, magisterial.
