With a big orchestra, an enormous choir and four soloists, the Requiem of Verdi is so immense and dramatic that is is just like an opera – the genre in which Verdi remains unsurpassed.
With none other than Lorenzo Viotti as conductor!
Verdi’s Requiem contains moments that, consciously or subconsciously, have become part of the universal soundtrack of life. And this is not surprising. Verdi used all his dramatic know-how to unite the comfort of mourning with the menace of death. The menacing climax, the Dies Irae, is so good that it is still often used in films.
The orchestra is so large that the Requiem is not often performed at such high level as by Lorenzo Viotti, the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Chorus of the National Opera. A unique opportunity to hear this monumental work!
Program and performers:
Verdi: Messa da Requiem
Conductor: Lorenzo Viotti
Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, Chorus of the National Opera
