    Customer Review

    If you want to see a performance of the Mozart Requiem in the context of a full service of the catholic mass and/or you are a big fan of "Cheeky" Bartoli then this may please you.

    We were disappointed. Technically the disc is very poor by present standards. Although the production is dated 1990 the picture quality is very poor. It may have been converted from the original technical standards.

    The sound is also poor. Very flat and lacking any clarity. The discs claims 5.1 but I could only find pcm stereo.

    My wife is a trained singer and although a Bartoli fan she thought the whole thing lacked any excitement or sense of drama.

    You can opt to skip the religous bits but that didn't leave anything impressive anyway.Oh dear!

    DVD's of operas and classical music in general seem to be a mixed bag.
