[@lquinto1021]

this is the song i want played when i pass on from this world

[@steenmortensen6410]

best version...tears in my eyes..right tempo, every note and voice heavenly on a higher level......Bernstein of course as conductor..

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

This Is THE LACRIMOSA..IT IS virtually perfect, Maestro Bernstein has succeeded in perfection yet again Bravo Maestro R.I P.

[@SirDiogoferreira]

This is how Lacrimosa should sound! The cry of humanity for her sins and destiny, the cry of a mother for her dead child, the cry of God for His creation. 7minutes of pure sadness. Now, the world may end.

[@renzobosk9748]

Sorry, but it never seems to exaggerate a bit '?

[@ErickeTR]

@@renzobosk9748 the lyrics come from the catholic mass for the dead. What he said sums it perfectly. It isn't exaggeration.

What a gut wrenchingly heart breaking tempo. It's like I'm being dragged through sadness mud.

[@Dionysosable]

No The Perfect tempo and emotion like emtion has never been cryed out before in this part. Lenny is again without comparison. Genius , and great orchestra and choir !! The best version ever!!!!

[@massimovolpe]

Ho ascoltato parecchie volte il Requiem di Mozart questa a mio parere è la più bella ti entra nella pelle nel sangue e nelle ossa.

[@t.m.carter4171]

Even with how overdone the Lacrimosa is, Bernstein is able to capture something very different from other interpretations I have heard. True beauty right there.

[@cmelodynick]

Bernstein has the skill, courage and experience to take this at such a tempo. The modern world has conditioned us to 'consume' food, drink, music, visits to art galleries, etc. at pace, and to really fail to savour the finer tastes, flavours and the details of the delicacies on offer. This rendition allows one to thoroughly appreciate the depth of emotion encapsulated in this piece, as well as Mozart's unparalleled skill. It may have been written for someone else, but it is truly Mozart's own requiem.

[@dennisdrud2078]

Incredible version. And best tempo. Bernstein was the best conductor for me. He could realy bring the best and the most emotional feelings out of any piece he touched. Genius musician and conductor. This tempo is crying out the greef and sadnes in this movement. And difficult and daring to do. Masterful. Mozart at his best compositionvise. *******

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

/What does compositionvise mean??/

[@vitocortesi9389]

The Best Lacrimosa ever!

E adoro il grandissimo Leonard Bernstein ❤

[@HivusLibrevilleThiephyst]

the intro to Amen part, in the end always shivers me

[@TheMercooles]

Theres no way to make it sound better - its brilliant !! Thank you, Mozart, Thank you Bernstein !

[@REALband2024]

Perfection. Why do I sound like Niles Crane writing this?

[@Miro.Collas]

@RooWazza10 He dedicated the performance to his late wife - he DID put passion into it.

[@cx6009]

I always liked the von karajan version with the Berliner until I heard this. Omg pure perfection!

[@fabiofusar3609]

L'amen finale da brivido!

[@Chebajiana]

Tremenda versión! Grande maestro Bernstein ! ❣️

[@REALband2024]

The most stirring interpretation of the most joyously sorrowful piece in the long history of music!

[@TheSupermichel86]

c'est tout simplement merveilleux et émouvant

[@FiasaPower]

I'm weeping.

[@salvale9184]

There's some confutatis in this lacrimosa

[@AndresRGarciaLunaUBVPFGComSo]

Mozart - Lacrimosa CORO: Lacrimosa dies illa qua resurget et favilla iudicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus. Pe Iesu, Domine, dona eis requiem. Amen.

[@seanpietromarshall]

I love leni

[@Miro.Collas]

@SEVENTHSON89 I'll have to disagree with he "too slow" - it expresses profound pathos, I think. More than any other recording.

[@REALband2024]

It's my absolute favourite performance of this piece because, I feel, it captures the full weight of the music through that tempo.

[@michaeldoyle6702]

From 5:50 onwards, Bernstein's account grinds to a halt. An intersting version since the words are a plea for eternal rest. Also intriguing is that Bernstein never recorded this piece before, and yet he is conducting this without looking at the score.

[@WBensburg]

He has the score out in front of him -- why don't you think he's looking at it?

[@fabiofoti6948]

Questo è il più commovente Lacrimosa. Credo perché Bernstein sapesse che stava per morire.

[@bw2082]

I am usually one who prefers aggressive tempos but I think Bernstein has the lacrimosa just right.

모태구의 일그러진 우아함에 걸맞는 곡

[@lookalulu]

Définitivement, sans Mozart, pas de musique moderne.

[@The22on]

I don't know how to react to this interpretation. I love Lenny and his artistic sensibility... but...I gotta say this is a bit slow for me. Maybe I'm used to other versions. The good thing is that I can hear each wonderful note and harmony individually. The bad thing is that I lose the flow. To me, Lacrmosa is 'the cry of humanity. I'm just not getting that tingly feeling of the whole of humanity crying out. But I will always be a fan of Lenny.

[@Miro.Collas]

The22on I think he plays it at the right speed - for what it is.

[@danieljoseph255]

You're used to the average, and therefore most common, tempo. I know the feeling. Your mind is conditioned to anticipate the phrases in their usual tempo, so with this slower speed your mind is working critically as it anticipates what will come next. With Bernstein (who was the definitive source for Mozart's work), this piece (movements 1 and 8) comes alive with this tempo---it optimized the expression of this funeral requiem written for Mozart's father who he worshiped. I recommend listening to it first by concentrating on individual elements or section, such as the male singers or the strings or the percussion, and just forget the overall structure. Feel it. Hopefully you'll see what I mean.

[@danieljoseph255]

BTW, some pieces are truly ruined by a tempo that is too slow. Glenn Gould butchers Bach's "Variations" for instance, by aimlessly yawning through melodies at a painfully slow tempo, which Bach very deliberately sought to avoid by annotating precise tempos on the sheet music itself. So I'm not saying that "slower is better"", merely that each piece has an optimal tempo.

[@HandyTraveler]

Sad..., but feeling peace, I realize: it is the real version of HEAVEN.

[@rusalkin]

shiiiiiiit only bernstein should be allowed to play mozart, thats how it is supposed to be played!

[@MelizEspi]

Exactly!

Vom Ausdruck und der Dynamik kann man dieses Stück nicht besser musizieren, dirigieren und hören. Alle anderen Wiedergaben fallen weit ab.

[@ari-veikkoanttiroiko9554]

Too slow to my taste - as were also some other Mozart's pieces conducted by Bernstein. Anyway, Lacrimosa is incredible work of art.

[@hrach8420]

Yeees! Bernstein is great as always but tempo is too largo not largetto and rubato.Tune of lacrimosa is about tears not about "ocean" ☺️(maybe ocean of tears) IMHO,In any case Mozart's lacrimosa is the best piece In this mood 🙏🙏🙏

[@supawels3627]

Naja, etwas schneller ginge auch, selbst wenn Mozart tatsächlich über Takt 8 gestorben sein soll.

[@danieljoseph255]

Breathless. Reminds me of how very dull the inner mind of an atheist must be.

[@everyhandlesalreadytaken]

This is music, not religion, despite the text of this piece. I am an atheist and I fully appreciate art, don’t worry for my “dull inner mind”...and, to be honest, needing to believe in a superior power to appreciate humankind best expression of itself seems a bit dull, too ;)

[@JesusW4y]

@@everyhandlesalreadytaken You are right, this is NOT religion. It's about the fiery and majestic day of Jesus' return.

[@kn1ght-788]

What’s dull is the fact that you believe in something that makes absolutely no sense if you think about it for more then thirty seconds just because your parents told you to.

Anyone who wrote what you just wrote is a dull person.
