The Ormandy recording of the Berlioz Requiem is another one for testing sound systems, especially the Dies Irae and Lacrymosa.
Ooooooooooooo Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Verdi’s Requiem is pretty Good for that too!
Funny story...I learned Verdi’s Requiem from a recording of the Moscow Opera that I had taken out of the library.
To this day, i sing the “Lacrymosa” with a Russian accent on the “L’s”. In English, the L is made by vibrating the tip of the tongue against the roof and is a resonating consonant.
In Russian it is almost a guttural.
Singing in Latin with a Russian Accent is weird!
