Messa da Requiem / Quattro Pezzi Sacri

Album by Giuseppe Verdi & Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique & Monteverdi Choir & Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Messa da Requiem and the Quattro pezzi sacri are sacred choral works by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, first performed in 1874 (the Requiem) and completed in 1898 (the Quattro pezzi sacri). Musically they blend operatic drama with liturgical form, employing large-scale chorus and soloists, rich orchestral colour and marked contrasts of dynamics and texture that reflect Verdi's transition from his operatic maturity into a late-career engagement with sacred music.
