Recommendations for Mozart's Requiem in D minor

[Dom66]

OK Hive mind, what are the best versions of this to look out for ?

I've listened to a couple and they are a bit ...laggy for want of a better term, just not as punchy and vibrant as I've heard it performed....

I heard a good performance at the Proms many years ago by Roger Norrington and the London Classical Players, it has a good bit of pace and energy but not overdone. It's also an interesting completion of an incomplete work (the original was controversially completed by Sussmayr shortly after who claimed to have known how Mozart wanted it written IIRC).

I have recollections of Philip Herreweghe's version with the Collegium Vocale Ghent and the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées being well worth hearing.
