About this product

Mozart: Requiem is a Deutsche Grammophon compact disc, catalogue number 419 867-2, that 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.[4] Discogs describes it as a remastered stereo reissue of 1988 with a total playing time of 53:02, recorded at the Philharmonie in Berlin and pressed in West Germany.[5] MusicBrainz lists 14 tracks and a German release on 1 March 1989, the date Deutsche Grammophon's own catalogue gives for this UPC.[6] The label now lists the CD among its currently unavailable formats.[4]

The same barcode was also pressed in France by PMDC[7] and in the United States, where PolyGram Records, Inc. marketed and manufactured the disc.[3] The recording was first issued on LP in 1976 and has since been reissued on CD, hybrid SACD and DVD-Audio.[8]
