Mozart's Requiem really only makes sense (as Mozart intended), being heard in the original context of the Mass setting which it was written for. If you have never been to an orchestral Mass, then hear the Twin Cities Catholic Chorale and be amazed:

The Requiem was sung (played just doesn't sound right) as Kaiserin Zita's funeral mass. I think it's on YouTube.
