Edinburgh Festival Chorus
Programme
Verdi Requiem
Our Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali takes the helm in this landmark of 19th-century music.
Verdi poured all his expertise in depicting human emotion into this choral masterpiece. There is violence in the ‘Dies Irae’ movement, and grandeur in the ‘Tuba Mirum’, heralded by eight trumpets. Joyful praise resounds in the ‘Sanctus’, and the ‘Agnus Dei’ opens with a spine-tingling unaccompanied duet for the soprano and mezzo soloists.
