When the revered writer Alessandro Manzoni died in 1873, Verdi was unable to bring himseIf to attend the funeral. Instead he composed his monumentaI Messa da Requiem in Manzonis memory and conducted its first performance on the first anniversary of the writers death. ln addition to its profound spirituaIity, the work aIso brings together aIl the finest qualities famiIiar from Verdis operas, qualities that include endIess melodic Iines and powerful musico-dramatic effects. The present performance was recorded in Los Angeless Iegendary HoIIywood Bowl 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 IIdebrando 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.
