Of recent recordings of the Mozart "Requiem", I've been
particularly impressed by the one conducted by Peter Schreier
on a Philips CD (also available on LP).  The solo and choral
singing is outstanding and remarkable for the clarity of the
individual lines, achieved without loss of cohesiveness.

Of historic "mono" recordings, I find the 1954 version conducted
by Bruno Walter with Seefried, Simoneau and Tourel (I forget
who was the bass soloist) particularly beautiful.
