I have a chance to either get Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem (with Simon Rattle, Dorothea Roschmann, and Thomas Quasthoff) or Mozart Arias (Magdalena Kozena, Simon Rattle) on CD. Which one should I get?

Even though I am a huge Brahms fan, I gotta go with the Mozart, simply because it's easier listening. The German Requiem needs to be listened to a number of times before you begin to understand and appreciate it. The Mozart you get and enjoy right away.

If you have enough money, get both. But if only one, choose Mozart Arias. Then next time get Brahms.

I'd get Mozart Arias. It's sure to have some of the magic flute on it, and That's a very notable opera:) I love the duet "papagena"

Well, I pick Brahms because I am sick of Mozart being considered so brilliant.
