## About <!--about-->
Mozart: Requiem is a multichannel DVD-Audio that Deutsche Grammophon issued in 2004 under catalogue number B0003115-19.[^discogs][^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 holds the fourteen movements twice, once in stereo and once as a 5.1 mix, both at 96 kHz and 24 bits.[^mb][^audaud] Audiophile Audition gave it four stars in April 2005, found it close in sound to the 2002 hybrid SACD and noted the "Newly mastered for DVD-Audio" wording on the disc.[^audaud] Deutsche Grammophon says the DVD-Audio was only available in the US.[^dg]
The reviewer described the 1975 master as a four-channel recording made after quadraphonic records had faded, remixed here for 5.1 surround.[^audaud] The recording was first issued on LP in 1976 and belongs to a MusicBrainz release group that also holds the CD and SACD editions.[^mb-rg]
