Реквием Верди был впервые исполнен в Милане в церкви Сан-Марко в 1874 году под дирижерским управлением самого композитора. 145 лет спустя Теодор Курентзис в тех же стенах представил свою интерпретацию этого шедевра с оркестром и хором MusicAeterna и с четырьмя приглашенными солистами. DW снял небольшой фильм об этом важном событии.

Verdi‘s Requiem was first performed at the Church of San Marco in Milan in 1874, with Verdi himself conducting. Now, 145 years later, Teodor Currentzis unveils a powerful new interpretation of this major work – at the same venue. The performance features the MusicAeterna orchestra and chorus, including the four vocal soloists. Here is the film from DW about this remarkable event.

I’m surely not a genius. I’m surely not a perfectionist. I just see a little bit different things in the scores. I’m a little bit… individual, I would say. And I’m an absolute friend of a composer that I decided to interpret.
