The Mozart Requiem is a great work and there are many great interpretations. I have the 1987 Karajan which is fairly conventional and large scale (gothic?) but very dramatic. I also have a very good version by Mackerras on Linn SACD which is probably the best recording technically. This is lighter in texture however.
Otto Klemperer recorded a mighty version long ago which bears no relation to the style of performance we hear today. He looks gothic!
