Maria Agresta, Daniela Barcellona, Piotr Beczala, Ildar Abdrazakov, Coro Teatro Regio Torino, Verbier Festival Orchestra & Gianandrea Noseda - Verdi: Requiem (Live) (2022) [Hi-Res]

Gianandrea Noseda’s 2013 account of Verdi’s transcendent Requiem marks one of the most electrifying moments in Verbier Festival history. Soloists Maria Agresta, Daniela Barcellona, Piotr Beczala, and Ildar Abdrazakov deliver spellbinding performances. As do the singers of the Coro Teatro Regio Torino, and musicians of the Verbier Festival Orchestra. Joining together – from the hushed tones of the ‘Introit’ to the radiant cadence of the ‘Libera me’ – these forces conjure a journey of monumental power under Noseda’s expert direction.

“It moved the writer to tears… One of our most talented and intelligent conductors, a quartet of first-class voices, a young orchestra that is increasingly enthusiastic about working with podium professionals from whom it can learn precious lessons, and the superb choir of the Regio di Torino.” (Luca Chierici, il Corriere Musicale)
