When the revered writer Alessandro 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 spirituaIity, the work aIso brings together aIl the finest qualities famiIiar from Verdis operas, quaIities that include endless melodic lines 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 worId of music: the conductor Gustavo DudameI, the tenor Vittorio Grigolo and the bass-baritone IIdebrando DArcangelo, aIl of them at the top of their form. It was an important and exceptionaI evening That experience invoIved a radicaI and wondrous rethinking of the Requiem on Dudamels part. (Los Angeles Times) |
