"Gardiner's 'revolutionary' account of the German Requiem brings a range of choral sound even more thrilling than in the concert hall." Rosette (Highest Award) Penguin Stereo Guide

"Gardiner's 'revolutionary' account of the German Requiem brings a range of choral sound even more thrilling than in the concert hall. With period instruments and following Viennese practice of the time, speeds tend to be faster than usual. One could not ask for a more complete renovation of a masterpiece that is often made to sound stodgy and square."
- Rosette (Highest Award) Penguin Stereo Guide

A highlight of John Eliot Gardiner's pioneering account of Ein deutsches Requiem is the thrilling choral singing which distinguishes so many of his performances. Charlotte Margiono is the ethereal soprano soloist in this recording which is now at mid-price for the first time. Booklet contains sung text in German and English.
