Don't bother with Bohm, it's awful. Go for Karajan's 70's or 80's versions (his 60's recording is not that good either).
Some other versions that I like are the two 1 2 recordings by Marriner, Colin Davis, and Schreier.
Concerning recordings with period instruments, I second Herrweghe's recording, and would also recommend Harnoncourt's recording which is very unique.
Karl Bohm + BPO: Complete Mozart Symphonies
EDIT: Also, the Piano Concertos and the requiem.
Plus the operas The Magic Flute, Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro and Cosi Fan Tutte. The Piano Sonatas, Violin Sonatas, Violin Concertos, Horn Concertos, Serenades.
2nd Edit: I'd recommend you start with the stuff I linked then slowly move your way into the rest of the stuff, because it is a lot of stuff as one user pointed out.

Get a free Spotify account and listen to the different recordings. Read reviews if you feel inclined. For Mozart's Requiem, you have to choose between recordings on modern instruments or period instruments, so it comes down to personal preference. On modern instruments usually the most recommended CDs are this, this, and this. Have fun finding something you like.
I highly recommend this album, conducted by Philippe Herreweghe and played on period instruments. It's my favorite recording of the Requiem, and one of my favorite albums overall. It just sucks me in from the first bar.
However, I would suggest checking out several recordings and seeing what suits you best. The Gardiner, Solti and Marriner recordings all have great aspects to them and are very highly regarded.
> information about the piece apart from the performers
Right at the bottom, it lists "by Neville Marriner, Academy Of St. Martin In The Fields." It's probably from this recording.
