"The individuality and sensitivity of Tennstedt's vision for the piece, and the fine performances by the London Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus make this a recording well worth considering".

"This is one of those recordings that is best heard through headphones in order to appreciate fully the fabulously rich texture of this wonderful orchestra. Harnoncourt has it purring along from the start, plumping up a generous cushion of sound on which to float the equally impressive Arnold Schoenberg Choir, who luxuriate in Brahms's glorious vocal lines. Thomas Hampson and Genia Kuhmeier are in terrific form".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "Finley represents luxury casting ... He articulates the words with evident care for the meaning and his vocal control is enviable. In a word, he's marvellous ... This is one of those performances that shows his [Mariss Jansons] partnership with the orchestra at its very best ... The sound on this SACD is excellent. The balance between choir and orchestra has been well judged".

"Paavo Järvi's spacious, serene reading of A German Requiem is beautifully recorded.Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra's strings balance silkiness of tone with clean articulation, while the delicate woodwind and noble brass glint through the textures. A similarly crisp translucence is heard from the Swedish Radio Choir".

"[Maltman] is outstanding; firm of tone, passionate in declamation and excellent of diction ... The LSC, meticulously prepared by their director Simon Halsey, cope superbly for most of the time. Their corporate tone for the 'big moments' is shatteringly powerful".

"Choir of King's College i Cambridge er ellers kendt, men drengene klinger ikke godt og sommetider upræcist. Man finder klart bedre drengekor fra København til Herning".

"Samarbejdet mellem berlinerne og Rattle er svingende. Denne Brahms trækker decideret opad. Orkesterspillet er varmt og flot, og Rattle former bevidst og sigende Brahms udramatiske dødsmesse. Hans eget musikalske temperament passer godt til musikken".

"Berliner Filharmonikerne under Rattle klinger klart nok anderledes end før, det har ikke helt tidligere tiders overvældende fylde i klangen, men han kan immervæk dirigere et legato, der vil noget, Sir Simon, og han veksler smukt og uanstrengt mellem kraft og stilfærdig åndelighed i dette dybt humanistiske værk. Thomas Quasthoff, Dorothea Röschmann og Rundfunkkor Berlin er med hele vejen. Kun krakilere vil intet kunne finde at glæde sig over".

"Med sine elitestyrker giver Rattle det ultimative i stort overskuet form, organisk strømmende frasering, klar sats, dunvarm klang og finesser i faktur og instrumentation, man normalt går glip af. Det kompositoriske mesterskab er storslået foldet ud. Og deraf vokser et rigt og dybt bevægende udtryk".

"The recorded sound has great immediacy, and the chorus produces a beautifully sustained and richly coloured vocal tone. Gardiner's flexibility in tempo, phrasing and dynamics pays dividends ... This is clearly a highly competitive version of the Requiem".

"A sensitive and often moving account of the score. Alsop's tempos are never ponderous, in places almost brisk ... At its bargain price, this honest, no-nonsense account, beautifully played and sung, is certainly competitive".

"Slank klang og rytmisk spændstighed er i højsædet, når lettiske Mariss Jansons går til Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem ... En i enhver forstand levende opførelse ... Mariss Jansons har omhu for detaljer og en evne til at få musikken til at klinge rigt og nuanceret ... Læg dertil to solister som er perfekt castet ... Hermed anbefalet".

"The fact that the performance still finds itself with three stars is entirely due to the gently transparent blend and clear articulation of the Swedish Radio Choir".

"So, as an account of one of Brahms’s most personal works this version remains curiously uninvolving. For sheer aching intensity one cannot do better than Kempe’s 1955 Berlin account".

"Den rutinerede polske dirigent Antoni Wit er stensikker, hans kor er fremragende og Warszawa Filharmonikerne et upåklageligt orkester ... Det er den langsomste udgave, jeg har hørt af Brahms' Requiem ... Stilen på indspilningen er kort sagt utidssvarende og hører hjemme på historiske indspilningerʺ.

"Beim ersten, leisen Auftritt des Chores, diesem wunderbaren A-cappella-Einsatz auf dem Wort 'Selig', nach der sanften Orchestereinleitung, denkt man: Ja, genau. So muss es klingen ... Wunderbar. Aber ganz so beglückend bleibt es nicht - weil dieser ruhmreiche, kammermusikalisch besetzte Chor ausserhalb der Piano-Farben weniger geschlossen als früher klingt und stellenweise forciert ... Die Solopartien sind mit exzellenten Sängern besetzt. Matthias Goerne gestaltet die Baritonpartie ausdrucksvoll ... Christiane Karg singt den engelhaften Sopranpart klangschön wie immer ... Es gibt also schon, die berührende Momente - aber im Vergleich mit der riesigen Konkurrenz hat die Einspielung einen schweren Stand".

"The chorus are generally good, but they do sound momentarily caught out by Gergiev's tempo ... As for the soloists, Christopher Maltman is on fine stirring form, but Sally Matthews's intense vibrato doesn't offer a lot of "comfort" in the fifth movement".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "The star of the German Requiem is always the choir. You know you're in safe hands with the Monteverdis ... Applause is omitted, allowing silent contemplation of the revelation that comes from such a minutely considered, dramatic and, in places, aptly disturbing performance".

"This is a very impressive new recording of the Brahms German Requiem. John Eliot Gardiner conducts with warmth and the textures of the work have a vibrancy and immediacy that is wholly to its advantage ... This new version is uncommonly good, and will surely delight anyone wanting to hear the German Requiem on period instruments ... Very warmly recommended".

"The Leipzig Radio Choir sounds like a large body. There are no fluffed entries and no weaknesses. The tenor are particularly impressive, with no sense of strain on the high notes. Stephan Genz is properly suppliant ... and Anna Lucia Richter shows great promise. Well worth your money".

"Consolation, tonal and spiritual, arrives with the new recording from Mariss Jansons ... The Netherlands Radio Choir have been superbly coached by Michael Gläser: massed enunciation so artlessly natural takes a lot of practice. In his quietly accomplished way, jansons demands your attention".

"Vurdering: G (Gramophone recommends)" - "The choral singing is especially good, while Janowski's conducting really makes you sit up. The principal draw of his performance is its drama".

"Daniel Harding har en nerv och dramatik som på sätt och vis är velgörande i detta älskade Bramsverk ... Men det ytterste syftet - att i dödsmässan trösta oss som blir kvar - kommer han inte åt".

"The professional members of the Swedish Radio Choir form one of the smallest ensembles on record to take on the full-orchestral version of the German Requiem. Unanimity of attack and suavity of tone are two obvious and immediate benefits of such a period-inclined approach, even if it hardly aligns with the choral-society forces Brahms was writing for ... I find the core of the choir's sound more diffuse ... Harding's direction is unhurried, true to both the letter and the spirit of Brahms's score ... Overall, however, this Requiem finds its proper context ... with a gravity, unspoiled by austerity, that speaks to the heart of the piece".

"This is a lovely performance, sensitive to the work's consolatory mood, free-moving and sweetly sung ... Thomas Quathoff, who seems a little out of sorts, is no match for Fischer-Dieskau on Klemperer's unignorably splendid recording; and I don't greatly care for Dorothea Röschmann's reedy tone and tight vibrato".

"Gergiev's wayward approach to tempi and lack of nobility rule out this newcomer".
