Brahms's Requiem is probably the greatest vocal work of the 19th century, and among the greatest in the history of music in general. It is amazing to see how Karajan succeeded to destroy even this. As usual, his performance is very sharp, very smooth, but reveals no true sentiment. Karajan and his orchestra remain cold even in the most sensitive pieces, and only the excellent solo singers give it some human touch (take the "Herr" for instance). the worst parts are the fortissimo bars, where Karajan, ready to battle, reaches his peak of arrogance and violence.If you are looking for a moving performance - take Barenboim. Giulini is a little too dramatic to my taste, but still very good, too.
