May 5th, 2011 by gcunniff
“That Verdi’s Messa da Requiem should be infused with the dramatic power of the his operas is no surprise. The text of the requiem is the most dramatic Verdi ever set, allowing him to explore his new ability to compose large sections of music on a “symphonic” scale with powerful passages for chorus and orchestra.” –All Music Guide
