Title: This Requiem is "pressured" and played much too fast.
Product review: This rendition of Mozart's Requiem has given in to the idea that it must be played "as fast as possible," in order to display the instrumentalist's techniques. (Requiem means rest.) At the other extreme is the rendition a few years ago by Leonard Bernstein which was much, much too slow in tempo. In my opinion as a non-musician, lay person, the best recording of Mozart's Requiem I've heard is that of Herbert von Karajan in 1976, by Deutsch Grammophon Gesellschaft. Tom Bauer
