The best recording I've ever heard, and there are many, is led by
Nicholas Harnoncourt with the Concentus Musicus Wien, on Telefunken (or
it may be Teldec now).  It has some of the best singing and playing
around, for anything, and is about the most dramatic reading of the
Requiem you can get--all with true Mozartean perspective.  On the other
hand, if you prefer your Mozart in more of a Wagnerian or Verdian vein,
too bad.
