Verdi Requiem
Few choral works have captured the public imagination as has Verdi’s intensely stormy and operatic, transcendent Requiem. A deeply religious reflection on life and death, the Requiem soars with music of unimaginable sweep and grandeur as rhythms, sublime melodies and dramatic musical contrasts express the deeply spiritual emotions of the text with breathtaking beauty. The Requiem is one of the great icons of Western music, written by a man who was filled with spiritual doubt.
