Requiem
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Verdi's Requiem stands apart from its sacred counterparts—not a liturgical work but a grand operatic statement on mortality, mortality, and redemption, composed in 1874 as a tribute to Alessandro Manzoni. This 1980 Deutsche Grammophon recording under Claudio Abbado captures the score's theatrical sweep with La Scala's forces at their peak: Katia Ricciarelli's crystalline soprano, Shirley Verrett's rich mezzo, Plácido Domingo's ardent tenor, and Nicolai Ghiaurov's commanding bass anchor some of the most visceral writing in Verdi's catalogue. The *Dies Irae* erupts with operatic fury, while quieter moments—the *Recordare*, the *Ingemisco*—reveal the work's emotional interiority. Abbado's conducting here is fleet and dramatically alive, rejecting the ponderous tempos sometimes favored for this score. It's a reading that emphasizes the human struggle within the liturgy rather than mere grandeur.
