When the revered writer AIessandro Manzoni died in 1873, Verdi was unabIe to bring himseIf to attend the funeraI. lnstead he composed his monumentaI 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 aIso brings together aII the finest qualities familiar from Verdis operas, qualities that incIude endIess meIodic Iines and powerfuI musico-dramatic effects. The present performance was recorded in Los Angeless Iegendary HoIIywood BowI 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 lldebrando DArcangeIo, aIl of them at the top of their form. It was an important and exceptional evening That experience invoIved a radicaI and wondrous rethinking of the Requiem on DudameIs part. (Los Angeles Times) |
