I was intrigued considering Berlioz wrote the piece with such an acoutic in mind.
I didn't care for either Munch or Davis 1 because of the weak choirs.

For the finest in choral performance may I recommend the most obscure recording of Requiem, this one is on Naxos, Elora Festival Orchestra, Noel Edison conductor, the choir is Toronto Mendelssohn Choir & Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir. The recording is fairly distant with tons of reverberation.
Of all the Requiems this one stands out for the beauty of its choral performance particularly in more peaceful parts.
Vahe
. . . but that LSO Live recording was overdone for my taste (i.e., the ratio of direct to reflected sound wasn't ideal). I still get a good sense of the reverberation on the earlier Davis and Munch recordings - although in neither of these cases is it big cathedral reverberation.
Oops! I just looked and I still DO have the Davis LSO Live SACD. (I could have sworn I jettisoned it!) Maybe I'll give it another listen tomorrow! ;-)
