Verdi's Requiem - T0717488833Giuseppe Verdi was moved to write his Requiem by the death of friends and colleagues. The result was a high-octane work whose expression of grief, faith and judgement drew such dramatic music from its composer that some thought it profane. First performed 150 years ago, and given its British premiere at the Royal Albert Hall the following year, it is one of music's most vivid masterpieces. Following his Prom with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales last night (see Prom 5), Ryan Bancroft returns this time with two choirs, lending suitably large forces for this powerful setting of the Latin Mass for the Dead. No intervalPerformer Latonia Moore (soprano). Performer Karen Cargill (mezzo-soprano). Performer SeokJong Baek (tenor). Performer Solomon Howard (bass). Company BBC National Chorus of Wales.
