The Herreweghe is a fine performance; I bought the Christie on Erato at the
same time, and both rank well with the other period instrument recordings.
I consider the Herreweghe and Christie more elegant and stately than
Gardiner and Norrington.
Surprisingly, I tend to prefer for the Requiem the fullness of the modern
instrument accounts by Davis and Bohm.
