| Description | ‘Opera in ecclesiastical dress’, sniffed one of Verdi’s contemporaries, completely missing the point. A better assessment from a Verdi biographer: the Requiem is ‘his genius at its most concentrated’. Liberated from the need for plot and characters Verdi poured everything he knew about music into the Requiem.
The result is a supremely beautiful work with moments of both awe-inspiring operatic grandeur and intimate, hushed reflection. |
