When the revered writer AIessandro Manzoni died in 1873, Verdi was unable to bring himself to attend the funeraI. Instead he composed his monumental Messa da Requiem in Manzonis memory and conducted its first performance on the first anniversary of the writers death. In addition to its profound spirituality, the work also brings together alI the finest quaIities familiar from Verdis operas, quaIities that incIude endless meIodic lines and powerfuI musico-dramatic effects. The present performance was recorded in Los AngeIess legendary HolIywood BowI in August 2013 and brought together three superstars from the world of music: the conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the tenor Vittorio GrigoIo and the bass-baritone Ildebrando DArcangeIo, aII of them at the top of their form. lt was an important and exceptional evening That experience invoIved a radicaI and wondrous rethinking of the Requiem on DudameIs part.
