The “Dies Irae” has what I can only call a fanatical attack and tempo, while ‘Hostias’, taken extremely slowly, is deeply devotional. Barenboim has, of course, a superb quartet of soloists, an absolutely first-rate chorus and an orchestra that knows how to play Mozart with the utmost artistry…You really should not overlook this exciting and most beautiful performance.

[Barenboim] has an impeccable view for architecture...The quartet of soloists is superb, as much for their heartfelt identification with the text as for the musical sound they make...The singing of the John Alldis Choir has a commitment and urgency to it throughout...The playing of the ECO is never less than magisterial.
