‘Each of the incisively characterised sections flows naturally out of each other – the slabs of brass in a speaker-bursting ‘Tuba mirum’ yielding to the nihilistic doubt of ‘Mors stupebit’ is superbly achieved – and the sheer grief of the ‘Lacrymosa’ is fantastically well expressed …
This is one of the most driven things I’ve heard Davis do – penetrating, on-the-edge conducting that digs deep into the music’s astounding emotional range, and he is rewarded with similarly engaged, idiomatic playing. Try the clear articulation of chaos at the opening of the ‘Dies irae'; or listen to the bassoon obbligato in ‘Quid sum miser’, which has never sounded so bleak …
The four soloists are equally impressive. Christine Brewer, singing with heroic splendour, takes no hostages with the various gifts Verdi presents to her, superlative as she soars into the ether in the ‘Lacrymosa’, and at her commanding, dramatic best in the concluding ‘Libera me’. Karen Cargill (who replaced Larissa Diadkova), a light, athletic mezzo who blends very satisfyingly in the ensemble passages, is very distinguished throughout the ‘Dies irae’, and hair-raisingly good in ‘Liber scriptus’ and ‘Lacrymosa’. The men are more obviously Italianate and operatic: tenor Stuart Neill never looks back from a stunning first entry in the ‘Kyrie'; and bass John Relyea has the authority of the Inquisitor and the darkness of Iago. The two tenor-and-bass arias in the ‘Ingemisco’ are superb.’

Concert reviews
‘listen to the fire he generates, the wisdom, the precision and his grasp of the music’s narrative … Davis located Verdi’s heart right from the first bars. Whether sighing or seething, Joseph Cullen’s massed troops were on exemplary form; I’ve not yet recovered from their full-throated onslaughts in the Dies Irae, delivered with cutting consonants and the heat of hellfire. What of the soloists? Here too we were blessed. Throughout, Davis shaped Verdi’s tumult and song with the master’s touch’
