About "Requiem, K. 626 : Mozart: Requiem, K. 626: IIIa. Dies irae (Recorded 1975)" by Berliner Philharmoniker

Dies irae arrives like a thunderclap in a cathedral. Karajan unleashes the Berlin brass and chorus with terrifying precision—trumpets flare, timpani roll—while the music's fury feels less theatrical than genuinely apocalyptic, a last judgment rendered in quicksilver and fire.
