  • Verdi’s Requiem of 1837 wasn’t quickly described as his ‘latest opera’ for nothing, with its intense human emotion, huge forces and sheer dramatic kick.

  • Opening in hushed, grief-soaked beauty, its opening ‘Requiem’ and ‘Kyrie’ rise to various climaxes before ending in serene hope. Hence the shock of the ‘Dies irae,’ whose initial cataclysmic music will act as a linking thread to a vast, multi-coloured movement incorporating the ‘Tuba mirum’, ‘Liber scriptus’, ‘Quid sum miser’, ‘Rex tremendae’, ‘Recordare’, ‘Ingemisco’, ‘Confutatis’ and ‘Lacrymosa.’ Next, warm radiance for the ‘Offertorium’ and up-tempo vigour for the ‘Sanctus’ with its fugue...

Another striking opening comes with the ‘Agnus Dei,’ soprano and mezzo soloists introducing its theme unaccompanied, in octaves. Then, after the ‘Lux aeterna,’ the final ‘Libera me,’ featuring a voices-only restatement of the first ‘Requiem aeternam,’ book-ended by the ‘Dies irae’ music.
