In Reply to: Sunday Morning Opera/ Choral Choice: Colin Davis' Final Berlioz Requiem posted by jdaniel@jps.net on October 5, 2016 at 13:24:24:
I didn't keep this one around for very long. [EDIT: perhaps I should say that the LSO Live recording captures too much of the echo in St. Paul's for my taste.]Unfortunately, I'm pretty wedded to the past wrt the Berlioz Requiem, with the Munch and Davis/Pentatone (Philips) sets being my standbys. I wish there were a more modern recording I could get behind, but all the newer multi-channel versions are compromised for me in one way or another. (I don't like the Spano/Atlanta recording on Telarc either - I thought that Telarc's earlier Shaw recording was much better, but the Shaw recording is not hi-rez and it's not multi-channel.) The same situation applies to the Levine/BPO version on DG (with Pavarotti!): I liked the performance, but I want my modern sonic amenities too! ;-)
