Requiem

Album by Giuseppe Verdi & Sir Georg Solti & Leontyne Price & Dame Janet Baker & Veriano Luchetti & José van Dam & Chicago Symphony Chorus & Margaret Hillis & Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Messa da Requiem is a large-scale choral and orchestral work by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, first performed in 1874. Combining operatic drama with liturgical text, the work employs dramatic choruses, solo vocal writing and rich orchestral colour, and occupies a distinctive place in Verdi's output as a major non-operatic composition reflecting his late-Romantic style and theatrical sensibilities.
