The first time I heard this recording I thought, "too slow!" But then Ferrier starts singing and it all made sense.
By far the finest recording of the Agnus Dei!

I believe this is the version that reduced Karajan to tears. Can quite understand why.

[@sasha42196]

Because he was the one who conducted it?

C'est une voix si habitée, si boulversante.
