Offcourse its uneven. He never finished it. Others had to step in. You can always feel the change its no longer Mozart.
With respect to the Palestrina... early 1960's my church choir had 23 men and 40 boys... some of the men sang with the Robert Shaw Chorus of the Cleveland Orchestra. We would practice a Palestrina (or other) mass on Thursday choir practice then perform on Sunday mornings. We all learned Latin.
There were no women in the choir until 1965.
Decades later I sang the tenor line of Schubert "Benedictus" from his Mass in G with one of the soprano's and bass in our choir....haven't done that in 20 years

Not my cup of tea. I struggle with voices in classical pieces. Not all requiems have vocal solos and choirs, so perhaps this is a good time to learn more.
Perhaps I was traumatized as a child? I grew up listening to the foundations of classical music. I never took to the vocal scales and octave reaches, it almost bothers me(not really of course, but YES).

I like brother Maynard’s reading from the book of armament in the search for the holy grail

That's a great performance, let down by - at least on my Oz LP 'CBS' pressing, the only one I've heard - rather thin sound. Maybe it's better on CD or the original US Columbia LP issue?
For some reason, local (Oz) CBS discs in the 1970s were of so-so quality; I had to return three Dylan albums to the manufacturer for new copies. A shame, as the CBS "Sound of Genius Masterworks" reissue series had some great artists and performances.

That was the first time I did out of town equipment engineering for Telarc. The Soundstream recorder was different than anything I had ever used. We received 4 Grammys for that recording.
I has done small scale local analog recording for Telarc before that.
Telarc would call me when none of their regular engineers were available.
Eine Deutsche Requiem is not specifically for mass, but we have sung "How lovely is thy dwelling place" after communion.
