Verdi's Requiem

Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

Religious music or opera? Whichever way you look at it, this music is larger than life.

Verdi’s Requiem begins as a whispered plea for eternal rest. The end of this funeral mass is just as serene. But in the hour and a half in between, emotions run high, with the thunderstorm of the Dies Irae as the dramatic climax. Religious music or opera? Whichever way you look at it, this music is larger than life, says Lahav Shani. ‘And isn’t that exactly what a requiem is all about?’
