(Biblical Songs are sung in German)

Reviews

This superb DG set from 1959 brings an inspired performance of Dvořák’s Requiem which here emerges with fiery intenisty, helped by a recording made in an appropriately spacious acoustic that gives an illusion of an electrifying live performance, without flaw.
