## About <!--about-->
Mozart: Requiem is a Deutsche Grammophon compact disc issued under catalogue number 429 821-2, which MusicBrainz dates to 16 May 1990.[^mb] It carries Herbert von Karajan's 1975 recording of the Requiem in D minor, K. 626, with the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Wiener Singverein and the soloists Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Agnes Baltsa, Werner Krenn and José van Dam.[^dg] The disc is digitally remastered from an analogue original (SPARS code ADD) and plays for 53:02 across 14 tracks in Süßmayr's completion.[^discogs-us-pdo] The same barcode appears on US copies manufactured and marketed by PolyGram Records, Inc. in New York and on a West German pressing by PDO in the series Mozarts Meisterwerke.[^discogs-us][^discogs-de]

The US copies were pressed at three successive PolyGram and Universal plants: PDO, then PMDC with SID codes from 1994, then UML.[^discogs-us-pdo][^discogs-us-pmdc][^discogs-us] PolyGram Records, Inc. was PolyGram's American division, formed in 1972 from the US Polydor and Mercury/Philips companies and wound up in 1999 when Seagram merged PolyGram into Universal Music Group.[^discogs-pri] The recording first appeared on LP in 1976 and Discogs groups this reissue with the remastered CD 419 867-2, the hybrid SACD and the DVD-Audio among its versions.[^discogs-master]
