*Chui Wa @ Meeting IV (feb 22,07)*

I played:
1. Dies irae in Mozart's Requiem,. conducted by Herbert von Karajan.
Performed by Wiener Philharmoniker and Wiener Singverein with Anna
Tomowa-Sintow, Helga Muller-Molinari, Paata Burchuladze and Vinson Cole.
2. I discovered this recording among my roommate's CD collection. I had another
Mozart's requiem with Karajan conducting, but that one sucks. This one is in no
way better (well, maybe a little bit), but with no alternative available right now
(i didn't bring any music with me from hk, except for some music my brother
downloaded to my computer before i came here), i'll think i have to stick to it
for a while...
3. I think the one conducted by Leonard Bernstein (http://youtube.com/watch?v=nl-wRbJoWVA) is
more to my taste, and really has that force and apocalyptic
feeling. I saw that DVD at borders, but someone got ahead of me and bought
it before i do...


Sorry for the babbling. Music students are usually very picky about
what they hear.
