Performance:   Sonics:
I discovered the review from amazon.com and it contents only the truth. This sacd is magnificent; a very spatial sound (notice: multichannel 4.0) and a great performance. Comparing with Van Veldhoven on ChannelClassics the sound and performance are much better. Buy it, even if you don't like a requiem.

Performance:   Sonics:
Linn knows how to record a small scale choral work, and the talented Sir Charles Mackerras brings the Requiem to life as not even Karajan could in his various recordings. Perfect in every way, even if Mozart is not your favourite composer.

Performance:   Sonics:  
I love The Requiem as music but find that it almost always sounds harsh in any format except for a live performance. Unfortunately this one is not exception. The usual sweet sound of SACD as a medium is missing here. Linn's SACDs to me are very variable for sound quality and I would place this near the bottom of their barrel.
