Review title: Great....except the bass drum
Product review: This is a truly great recording of Verdi's emotional Requiem, and I'll not try to add to the other reviews here. However, I do have one little quibble: the bass drum solos in the Dies Irae sections are not played forcefully enough. They are a somewhat unexciting "boom" instead of an earth-shaking "SLAM," as in Shaw's and Solti's recordings. This is, as I said, a minor point, but if you're a percussionist like me it can get on your nerves. I recommend getting the Fricsay along with the Shaw or Solti, because apart from the bass drum and the dated mono sound it is a great recording.
