Copied for us in high definition from its archives by Swedish Radio, here is, as you have never heard it before, this German Requiem with its extreme emotionality, and notably with superlative choruses and details of orchestration that leap out! We have preserved the lengthy  pauses between the movements.
Two Swedish correspondents have prepared a presentation (8 pages!) that alone justifies the download!

High definition (24/96) audio files [wav]

The booklet includes a very comprehensive presentation of these concerts, the biographies of the performers, translations of all the corresponding press articles, a list of the orchestral musicians and many photos, not forgetting the biblical texts of the Requiem in three languages.
