Riccardo Muti conducts an impressive Verdi's Requiem at the Salzburg Festival

Benedetta Saglietti, 15th August

Apart from the precious Quattro pezzi sacri, Verdi wrote very little sacred music until this Requiem, probably due to his agnosticism. When Alessandro Manzoni, one of the most important and admired Italian literary figures, died on the 22nd of May 1873, Verdi felt that something in the Italian cultural world had come to an end.
