Verdi: Requiem
One of the most monumental of all choral works, Verdi’s Requiem was considered “too operatic” to be performed in the liturgical setting of an actual funeral mass—but this dramatic intensity is precisely what makes it unforgettable. From the terrifying Dies irae, with its swirling strings and thunderous bass drum (a favorite of the Ohio State University Marching Band), to the achingly beautiful Lacrimosa and the whispered opening that rises from near silence, the Requiem blends theatricality with profound reflection. Hear the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, joined by a quartet of exceptional guest soloists, bring to life this masterpiece by the great Italian opera composer.
