| | Description: | This star-studded performance of Verdiâ??s blockbuster Requiem Mass, led by Yuri Temirkanov and full of power and sonic splendour, is a moving tribute to the memory of the great baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky. - AGNES BALTSA/JESSYE NORMAN/JOSE CARRERASThe Munich performances of Verdi's MESSA DA REQUIEM in October 1981 with Jessye Norman, Agnes Baltsa, José Carreras and Yevgeny Nesterenko, the Bavarian Radio Chorus, and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks conducted by Riccardo Muti were concert events that have hardly been equaled since, let alone surpassed - so powerful were the chorus and orchestra, so strictly did the maestro keep his eye on the interpretation, and so superb were the renowned soloists - singers of international renown who gave their all to achieve the best possible result. And they all succeeded brilliantly. Finally - four decades later - BR-KLASSIK can now present this absolute pinnacle in the performance history of Verdi's MESSA DA REQUIEM on album. The audience was spellbound and totally captivated, and there was glowing praise from the critics: the powerful work, they said, had hardly ever been heard like this on this side of the Alps; Riccardo Muti had demonstrated how Verdi's Requiem should sound; this performance of Verdi's requiem mass was authentic, frightening, tender and terrifying, providing a timid yet hopeful glimpse of transcendence; all in all, a truly resounding success. Wolf-Dieter Peter, a reviewer for the Mittelbayrische Zeitung in Regensburg (see booklet), was there at the time and reported how the extra trumpets positioned in the gallery of the Herkulessaal "blasted a glistening jet of metallic sound across the stalls, almost as if from the afterlife". It was something, he said, that had "never been seen, heard or experienced like this before... simply unforgettable."Recording: Herkulessaal, München, 8/9 October 1981

Giuseppe Verdi's "Messa da Requiem" in this BR-Klassik CD edition captures one of the most powerful sacred works of the 19th century in an interpretation of great intensity and precision. Under the baton of Riccardo Muti, the BR Chor and Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks shape Verdi's dramatic score with exceptional clarity, from the whispered fear of the "Requiem aeternam" to the overwhelming eruptions of the "Dies irae". The recording offers a finely balanced sound image that lets both the choir's nuanced dynamics and the orchestra's rich colors unfold fully, creating a deeply moving listening experience for lovers of opera and sacred music alike.
Riccardo Muti is one of the leading conductors of our time, known especially for his authoritative Verdi interpretations and his work with major orchestras and opera houses. With the Symphonieorchester and Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, he finds an ensemble that combines orchestral brilliance with choral culture at the highest level; this collaboration has produced benchmark recordings of the Italian repertoire. The artists are celebrated internationally for their stylistic sensitivity, technical excellence, and their ability to unite dramatic power with spiritual depth in works like the "Messa da Requiem".
