British conductor Edward Gardner, formerly Music Director of English National Opera, channels the combined forces of the Philharmonia Orchestra, Rodolfus Choir and Philharmonia Voices for Verdi’s epic Requiem. Written for his dear friend, writer Alessandro Manzoni, Verdi’s Requiem is explosive, an otherworldly drama powered by emotional intensity, haunted by offstage trumpets and bass drum thunder.
