I didn't care for either Munch or Davis 1 because of the weak choirs. "
For the finest in choral performance may I recommend the most obscure recording of Requiem, this one is on Naxos, Elora Festival Orchestra, Noel Edison conductor, the choir is Toronto Mendelssohn Choir & Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir. The recording is fairly distant with tons of reverberation.
Of all the Requiems this one stands out for the beauty of its choral performance particularly in more peaceful parts.
