Berlioz Requiem

Shaw Atlanta Telarc  Cat#: DG-10109-2

@melm  thanks. Just had a look...1985 pressing, do you own this?

Charles Munch with Boston Symphony on RCA Living Stereo. Colin Davis with LSO on Philips is also recommended.

@infection 

I only own the CD.  It's a great recording.  It was on the Absolute Sound list of great recordings.  I can only suppose the LP is at least as good.

There are many other fine recordings of this work as others have pointed out.

@melm  ok thanks 

@edgewear  thanks, yes I did see the Davis/LSO release & it is a contender. 

I'm not sure of the interpretation quality of the performance. But this is from a college library. I have the same though mine has the tulips on the label. DG is usually a good pressing with the Tulips more sought after.   I bought about 1500 LP's that came from a college library 20 yrs ago Most of them look unplayed. So I suspect this is as well. No affiliation with seller.

@artemus_5  thank you but unfortunately the seller doesn't ship to the UK. 

Another vote for the Colin Davis w/ The London Symphony Orchestra & Chorus version. Phillips 6700 019. Good sq, too.

London Philarmonic choir/London Philarmonic orchestra, Robert Tear/Andre Previn, on EMI HMV  1C 157-03898/99T (1980).

This a digital recording but i like it.

@bdp24 great thanks. The mint condition ones I’ve seen, including the Davis/LSO, are quite cheap so I may  purchase a few different releases to compare.

@petg60  thanks. I think I have an Elgar recording on the same label & year which if I remember correctly sounded a little thin...
