Dedicated by Leonard Bernstein to the memory of his wife, this deeply moving 1988 live performance of Mozart's Requiem was filmed in the Baroque splendour of the Abbey Church of Diessen, Bavaria. "A big-hearted, quasi-19th-century view…deliberate and portentous in the slower movements, swift and dramatic in the faster ones…carried off with the conviction this conductor brings to all his work" (Gramophone).
