| Begun in 1868 as one movement ("Libera me") of a requiem to be written by several composers to commemorate the death of Rossini, the Requiem has gone on to become one of the most-frequently performed settings of the grand mass for the dead. The work – completed in 1874 to memorialize Verdi's friend, the author and statesman Manzoni – is one of the most dramatic and colorful settings of this text. It is playfully and lovingly known as Verdi's "greatest opera" due to its dramatic vision. A memorable experience from beginning to end. |
