I have Gardiner's version with Bonney and von Otter, he's my favorite conductor in general and to me he can almost do no wrong. Formet AF user pyrrho recommended an eastern German recording by Schreier which is awesome, but I haven't seen it put online anywhere.

How I was introduced to Mozart's Requiem!
 (there's a cut in the original music at around 1 minute... but... well... still a great intro!) 
Here's my personal pick, one of the underdogs with a newer completion, Martin Pearlman's recording:

At 46:10, that's a pretty snappy interpretation. On listening, it sounds borderline manic. Not much mystery, but an awful lot of fire and brimstone!
Next step. . . Metallica! 
Okay, do atheists believe in coincidences? For anyone who'd enjoy listening to some Mozart and maybe discussing the conflation of classical music and modern literature, I actually mixed my boy in with the excerpt I was working on.

Not much mystery, but an awful lot of fire and brimstone! Of course, that said, that recording is from a different reconstruction than many are used to. Surprisingly, despite being two centuries and several continents separated from Mozart, unlike Sussmayer, Robert Levin somehow managed to do a better Mozart than Sussmayer, who would likely have been, at most, two degrees of separation from him. Levin is a pianist who is well-known for improvising cadenzas for Mozart's works that do an exceptional job at creating stuff that sounds like authentic Mozart off the top of his head: And surprisingly, despite the piano concerti and sonatas having extremely different needs from the requiem, he does an exceptional job of pulling this off.
