Edinburgh Festival Chorus

Donald Runnicles (conductor)

The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Donald Runnicles, with four stellar soloists and chorus, bring the Edinburgh Festival's 2013 Usher Hall series to an end with Verdi's powerful Requiem.

Starting with the failed performance of the 1868 composite "Requiem in Honour of Rossini" 鈥 written by the most distinguished Italian composers 鈥 Verdi, strengthened by the death in May 1873 of Alessandro Manzoni, decided to write an entire Requiem which is very much at home on the dramatic extremes of the opera stage.
