Not the slightest of surprise arise in my brain!  The singers don't really
come out in this set, and de Sabata conducts the Requiem as if he was
conducting a danse caractheristique by Tjajkovskij.

The best Verdi Requiem I have heard is Fritz Reiners with the Wiener
Philarmoniker and Price/Bjoerling/Tozzi/Elias.  You see he has good singers
- and the worlds best orchestra!
