Description
Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem is one of the grandest choral masterpieces of the Romantic Era. This production embodies Verdi's vision of a powerful and large-scale work and is presented with all of the intensity and dramatic passion that was conceived for the Requiem. Enoch zu Guttenberg conducted the European Symphony Orchestra with the Neubeuren Choral Society in this beautiful work. It was filmed at the famous Alte Oper in Frankfurt, Germany. Featured soloists are Pamela Coburn, soprano; Trudeliese Schmidt, mezzo-soprano; Vinson Cole, tenor; and Kurt Rydl, bass. This DVD also includes the option of viewing running commentaries on the pieces as they are performed as well as liner notes, a glossary of music terms, historical markers for the pieces, and performer profiles. Audio playback options are 5.1 dolby digital and non-compressed stereo.
