{"product_id":"verdi-requiem-quattro-pezzi-sacri-four-sacred-pieces","title":"Verdi: Requiem \/ Quattro Pezzi Sacri (Four Sacred Pieces)","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis religious masterpiece, composed in memory of the great Italian novelist Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), has themes even more cosmic than any in Verdi's other operas: life and death, heaven and hell, the Christian vision of humanity's redemption, the end of the world, and the last judgment. Verdi's music rises to the tremendous demands of this subject matter; it is music of grandeur, guilt, terror, and consolation, with a breadth of vision and an intensity of feeling unique in the composer's work and in religious music. John Eliot Gardiner's is the first recording made with period instruments, a kind of performance that some musiclovers still dismiss as dilettantism, more concerned with musicological correctness than feeling and communication. Gardiner's powerful performance blows such objections away, and this recording takes a rightful place alongside the best modern instrument versions. --Joe McLellan\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000418W\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000418W.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:John Eliot Gardiner|Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique|Giuseppe Verdi|Luba Orgonasova|Anne Sofie von Otter|Luca Canonici|Monteverdi Choir|Alastair Miles\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
