The Capriccio recording with Bertini and Cologne RSO is mediocre in both its singing and its engineering - surprising, since I generally like Bertini. I dumped this recording.

Also, the Karajan recording is not great either. (I'm judging by the DVD-Audio incarnation, rather than the SACD.) The choral singing is pretty wooly, as one of the reviews on SA-CD.net correctly points out.

Many of the available Mozart Requiem performances on SACD are HIP-based or HIP-influenced, so that would remove them from consideration as far as I'm concerned - others of course may well feel differently.
