My favourite interpretation is Bruno Walter's, with the NYPO, Westminter Choir, and I. Seefried, Jenny Tourel, Leopold Simoneau and ?. Warfield (Odyssey/CBS, record and cassette available). It is unique in its humanity (as most of Walter's recordings are); depth and intensity of feelings; a perfect rendition of the cosmic upheaval (Mozart's use of the D minor key had indeed such connotations); yet, at the same time, not hectic or frenzied, but ultimately peaceful.
