Requiem

by Giuseppe Verdi

Requiem cover art

Carlo Maria Giulini conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus, alongside soloists like Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, through Verdi's highly theatrical liturgical setting. The recording is notable for its extreme dynamic range, violently contrasting the thunderous brass of the 'Dies irae' with delicate, a cappella vocal passages.
