Never heard these before, they are both rather strange, but interesting. :D lol

from this box set:
Entremont set550.jpg

I waited for ages before buying this, hoping they'd eventually fix an issue with one of the CDs missing a track...my set has the same issue, although some reported on Amazon that it had been fixed. :/ Oh well, I guess I'll try contacting Sony to see if they will send a corrected disc. It's Saint-Saëns' piano concerto No. 3.

It's by far the best performance of this Requiem that I have ever heard..

It was released several times: http://www.allmusic.com/album/giuseppe-verdi-requiem-1972-mw0001403305/releases

I am not sure if this latest release is remastered, I would doubt it. So any release should be as good.

https://www.amazon.com/Verdi-Requiem-Herbert-Von-Karajan/dp/B007Y7RHQM

It's contained in this set which is about the same price as the one CD, stand alone.
