Abonnementkonzert VII (Subscription Concert VII) by Various, al. 17 mai. 2021, Noiztik (2021/2021), Zuzendaria Zubin Mehta, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, Germany

Between his two great operas »Aida« and »Otello«, Giuseppe Verdi composed his »Messa da Requiem«, whereby he by no means denied that he was a music dramatist. He set the text of the Latin mass for the dead to music with a special sense of tonal intensity and expressive nuances, in which the vocal soloists and the choir play just as much a part as the large, gentle and powerful orchestra.
