Schreier is a good recommendation, but an absolute surprise for me was the performance by William Christie and Les Arts Florissants on Elektra CD...oustanding recording and singing...
Telarc cd's and Mozart's Requiem
Back in the 80's got some Telarc cd's because they were supposed to be some of the better recordings out there. In general, do cd's sound better nowadays due to recording technology, etc. compared to the 80's telarc cd's or do the telarc cd's still hold their own? Also, can anyone recommend a quality recording of Mozart's Requiem (cd or sacd)? I currently have the 1986 telarc version by Shaw.
