What marks this out from most other performances of this masterpiece is the weight Hogwood gives to the tympani. If you can't hear them it's like seeing a body with no bones. Apocryphally, Mozart's dying words were regarding the tympani part of his Requiem. Clearly not something that somebody else could be trusted just to fill in. Edw. Cooper, 'él de los castillos'.
