Apart of the fact that this rendition is extraordinary, I want to mention the fact that the public awaited 25 seconds to start to clap. That was beautiful
Dear @johapadula, agree with you. Last Saturday had the great pleasure to see and hear the Requiem in Enschede and at the end the conductor also managed to keep the tension, just wonderful at the end of an impressive 🎉❤ performance,
Onore a te, Giuseppe Verdi. Il tuo Requiem si muove nella dimensione dello spazio...Diventa propulsione... Ci spinge con la forza di un razzo...Ci allontana dalla terra sino a vederla un piccolo punto luminoso e noi...noi sentiamo il nostro volto lacrimoso di sublime emozione... e l'umanità... è già...solo... un ricordo...Ottima esecuzione..
November 9, 2024, almost 2:00AM. Thank you so very much for this utterly beautiful performance of the incomparable Verdi Mass. I (and so many others, particularly in the United States) need this healing balm right now.
11:52 is where I start to cry every time. The trumpet players did a phenomenal job at projecting such deep emotion. I also picture this part as them looking death in the face, coming together, and choosing not to be afraid.
Seen this in a theatre as a staged version this evening. It was so intense i kept crying all the time and had numb, shaking hands and a numb face afterwards. That's what this music can do to you. Loved it
Many Thanks, John Stanbury! I rarely go a day without listening to the absolute Sublime Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. Maestro Andres Orozco-Estrada is my Favorite, hands up/down. I will follow his career to the ends of the earth. One day, I shall hear him in person. Before I perish. FACTS. Thanks again.
I. Requiem - Kyrie 0:06 II. Sequenz: - Dies irae 9:33 - Tuba mirum 11:51 - Liber scriptus 15:05 - Quid sum miser 20:09 - Rex tremendae 23:50 - Recordare 27:20 - Ingemisco 31:45 - Confutatis 35:05 - Lacrymosa 40:13 III. Offertorio 46:28 IV. Sanctus 56:47 V. Agnus Dei 59:20 VI. Lux aeterna 1:05:08 VII. Libera me 1:11:28
The fugue beginning at 1:20:09 must be one of the most surprising, and yet beautiful moments in the piece. It's an incredible subject, and developed pretty aggressively, with stretti almost immediately after the four-part statement. It's a beautiful moment, and climactic in just the right way before the quiet ending. It must stand alongside Liszt's Dante Symphony as one of the best integrations of fugue in a Romantic orchestral work.
questa esecuzione non so quante volte l'ho già ascoltata e ogni volta mi commuove alle lacrime per l'assoluta perfezione raggiunta dal maestro, dal coro, dall'orchestra e dai cantanti solisti. Per me nessun'altra esecuzione è paragonabile a questa per la perfezione raggiunta
This orchestra is outstanding, I am so grateful for the many performances they are making available. This is a rather "operatic" reading, but then, that is the nature of Verdi's version of the Requiem. Ms Urmana stands out in a fantastic performance (as usual for her), but not to diminish the other excellent soloists. Perhaps the choir could have been larger......? A very enjoyable performance.
@@stephenmessick865 Aida premiered at 1871, three years before Requiem was premiered. If I'm correct, this is the next composition Verdi made after Aida so it is not coincidental if they are similar.
Ogni volta che ascolto l' esecuzione della Messa da Requiem di GIUSEPPE VERDI , trovo qualche passaggio che mi era sfuggito et questo MI da' molta soddisfazione .
Singing this with my NYC choir at Carnegie hall in May which will probably be the last time I sing with them for a while which is sad. This was also the first piece I ever sang at Carnegie hall with John Rutter conducting. Amazing experience! I'm sure I will have tears while singing this in May! Just gorgeous!
I am sure you will have tears almost constantly and even actually FEEL your heart beat with unbearable joy and excitement repeatedly. I envy you being able to sing in May. Wonderful!.....I sand with a choir/choral for THIRTY years in Long Beach, NY....we did almost all the Requiems, Berlioz, Mozart, etc...Unfortunately, we did not have the scope to tackle such as this Verdi's. I am now 87 yr old and what I miss most in my life is SINGING with such a wonderful group I was blessed to be part. The conductor was also a MD and he was amazing for keeping us together for THIRTY years. We did sing at the World's Fair in NY back them. ENJOY this wonderful event of your life!!
RUclips nos ha hecho el regalo incomparable de no menos ve veinte versiones del Requiem verdiano. Esta es, sin duda, una de las más bellas, y nos permite volver a la esencia misma de la obra maestra del gran compositor. ¡Amigos: mírenla, escúchenla conmuévanse, vale la pena!
Não canso de ouvir Requiem de Verdi. Das composições de Requiem, a de Verdi é a minha preferida. Quase sei de cor. Também venho escutando desde meus 23 anos e tenho 56 agora. A primeira vez escutei curiosamente uma versão em LP de Paganini. Apaixonei-me na hora. Tudo era tão suplicante: Em minha imaginação eu parecia ver a cena das almas nas penumbras esperando a "luz perpétua". Depois, li num jornal em Belo Horizonte que a soprano Celine Imbert se apresentaria cantando esse Requiem no Palácio das Artes. Eu então não tinha como adquirir o ingresso, era apenas estudante, mas felizmente fui presenteado com um ingresso por um amigo médico e sua senhora, muitos queridos meus (Deus os tenha consigo!) ele, diretor de um Hospital em BH. Sentei-me na primeira fileira e fiquei encantado com a audição. Celine parecia incorporar o sofrimento da alma, suplicando o descanso e a redenção. Confesso que sofri com ela ante toda a dramaticidade das árias e da orquestra.
Love it! My favourite part is "tuba mirum". You can almost see the dead rising from ther graves to the sound of the trumpet. Makes the hair on my arms stand on end! Also this will be my first concert after Covid. I can't tell you how excited I am!!
The performances were beyond first class! The soloists each had divine voices and many times were ecstatic. I did not know the piece being performed but was comfortably entertained by soloists and a fantastic chorus. The orchestra complemented the whole, giving clarity, and pure individual artistry, all drawn together by their conductor, who fine tuned the piece and imbibed it with his energy, enthusiasm and commitment to every note, each word. Superlatives desert me; it was simply superb!
Stupendous Requiem and outstanding performance! Verdi used his incompatible mastery of vocal ensemble in this masterpiece. For too long I was so enamored with Mozart’s Requiem, I wouldn’t want to listen to Verdi’s, even though I’ve known most of his operas by heart. I’m glad I came to my senses!
Pour l'avoir chanté quelques fois, je peux vous dire que cette version est l'une des plus belles qui m'ait été donnée d'entendre. Les solistes, les choeurs et l'orchestre étaient de très grande qualité, avec une direction des plus sensibles. Bref, c'était magnifique.
Absolutely wonderful. Loved the soloists, whose voices were so beautifully balanced between squillo and volume; conducting is just superb and the orchestra great in following. The choir amazing. BIG KUDOS to the sound engineers and camera production. This is becoming my favorite version although there are some fantastic versions in RUclips. Here’s the epitome of masterful esa of the GREAT Giuseppe Verdi. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! ❤❤❤
Stunning. A great rendition of a work that I have been listening to for 70 years, live and recordings. The 1967 live performance in Montreal with Karajan conducting La Scala, Pavarotti, Ghiaurov, Price, Cosotto was unforgettable but this one comes close.
Magnifica interpretazione del capolavoro verdiano: cast stellare ma soprattutto perfettamente armonizzato sia sul piano stilistico sia su quello fonico-timbrico. Ottima la direzione del Maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada, alla guida di un'orchestra e di un coro eccellenti. Fra le esecuzioni più "giovani", questa si situa senza dubbio tra le migliori.
An excellent version, probably the best you can find nowadays in a video format. Orchestra, conductor and chorus are excepcional, as well as the soloists, above all the magnificent mezzosoprano Violeta Urmana. Thank you very much for uploading this marvelous concert.
The fact that Ms. Urmana takes the mezzo-sopran instead the soprano is baffling to me. I know sometimes she takes a role of a lower voice in operas but I've heard her with Bychkov performing this piece and it was sublime. Her voice has a smoother tone, better breathing control, she doesn't struggle during the long phrases and her "perdendosi lift" to pianissimo at 01:19:38 is the most ethereal. Not heard since the great Caballe. Her voice has got heft to it and of course, her final high C at the climax Libera Me explodes like a nuclear bomb. As I was listening to this, I was like "Urmana is literally right there! Let her sing it."
Like other well-known mezzos (Verrett, Bumbry, Horne, Ludwig), who have made forays into soprano realms with varying degrees of success, VE was obviously miscast as Aida (Met broadcast), but, later, superb as Amneris. Same with Eboli, another high mezzo role. And the Verdi Requiem. Has she ever sung Kundry? Ortrud? Would be a knockout.
I'm alive for many years and learned to not be surprised for anything but this is the first time I see classic music compared do diazepam. And this Requiem above all!
I am old and want this at my funeral. The whole orchestra and chorus, and those wonderful soloists, as well as the marvelous conductor. Please import them from Germany to Tucson, Arizona for me! I am so moved by this performance, so crisp and full of feeling. How does the soprano live through the Libera me?
I want the same wish from you David!!! .That is why the money that I am going to leave in my inheritance will be to pay for the orchestra and the soloists. The funeral ceremony will only be that all those who want to go see and listen to the Requiem feel free to do so, with that I will get to heaven. In this moment I remember the Funeral fron Lady Dee with a part of the requiem.
Fantastica esecuzione. Fantastici solisti, coro, orchestra, maestro . Preghiera sublime che ascolto spesso ed ogni volta riesce a commuovermi, specialmente se la esecuzione è a questi livelli di viva partecipazione da parte degli artisti.
@@m.kostoglod7949 OPERABASE la classifica tra le ''OPERE'' anche se tecnicamente e' una 'CANITUR MISSA' comunque sia la mia definizione di 'OPERA' sottintendeva CAPOLAVORO.
La voz de la extraordinaria Violeta Urmana, con los años, se ha adensado maravillosamente. Si es una experiencia increíble escucharla como soprano, en varias versiones del Réquiem de Verdi, y lo es igualmente disfrutar su impresionante rol de mezzo en esta versión llena de méritos!
Such an underrated orchestra. Though, it seems they are gaining popularity since the lockdown when their RUclips videos became widely viewed. Well merited!
This superb Chorus is one of the finest I've heard. Beautiful singing throughout, especially in the very quiet sections of the piece. Lovely. Extremely clear diction. I can see why they have the superb reputation they have. Very well-deserved and I hope that the hr-Sinfonieorchester invites them to perform more often with them. Also enjoyed the bass soloist. And I always enjoy the outstandingly superb hr-Sinfonieorchester and watching them perform, and Andrés Orozco-Estrada is excellent at working with a Chorus (there are some conductors who are not). Enjoyed seeing the Cimbassina(?) at the end of the brass section. Danke.
I agree about the choir, but I feel the mikeing of the choir could have been better in the pianissimo portions. I have sung this as a member of the choir under the baton of Seiji Ozawa and believe me it was a peak experience, and this performance is the closest I've come since.
Magnifica versión, otra joya del Maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Pero todos los honores para la Gran Violeta Urmana, simplemente soberbia, sin desconocer a los demás solistas; impresionante el bajo Kihwan Sim. Pero no puedo dejar de destacar la increíble grabación de sonido e imagen, absolutamente perfecta. Gracias por este excelente concierto.
No sé si Andrés leerá estos comentarios pero MAESTRO, me encanta totalmente tu estilo de dirección. Consigues que el ensamble responda a las verdaderas intenciones de Verdi en esta obra. El uso de matices es inigualable en cualquier otra versión disponible en RUclips y la intensidad en general es espectacular. ¡Felicidades maestro! Quizá deberías iniciar un canal propio para encontrarte más fácil. Saludos desde Utah, EEUU.
Брависсимо! Невероятно красивая месса! Величественная, возвышенная, печальная! Читала, что Дж.Верди хотел посвятить "Реквием" памяти Дж.Россини, но передумал.Когда я жила на Родине, заходила в православные храмы и кирху, чтобы послушать религиозную музыку.
Realmente impresionante. Todos los que participaron en el video han hecho un trabajo excelente y admirable. Felicitaciones por su gran esfuerzo. Me encanta la música clásica especialmente cuando es interpretada por todos ustedes. Gracias por subirlo a youtube.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
excellent performance.great maestro, great control, interesting to watch.soloists, perfect voice. choral- very good dynamics,syncopation, intonation. orchestra perfect as well. loved it
non lo so quante volte che l'ho ascoltato questo rendimento ma ogni volte che la mia ascolta portarmi le mozioni perfetta e inspirarmi molto . Grazie molto
This is a beautiful performance. It is well balanced and the sonics are outstanding. The principals are in extremely good voice and sing with proper emotional involvement. I particularly like how Sim uses his beautifully modulated lyric bass with outstanding interpretive intelligence. Grimaldi soars with opulent and brilliant top tones. Pirgu and Urmana shine.Orozco-Estrada's conducting is exemplary.
Thank you for not putting adds in between this master piece.
As part of a publicly financed German broadcaster, they are not allowed to use ads.
Apart of the fact that this rendition is extraordinary, I want to mention the fact that the public awaited 25 seconds to start to clap. That was beautiful

Verdi's is the most beautiful requiem, and this rendition is superb.
Mozart!
@@Scriptovir im a spaniard but your biased because of your culture. look at the music , yes MOZART is good but verdis is so far better.
Mozart, Brahms, Berlioz, Verdi
@@finarya Fauré s Requiem is also very good
I would like to add Duruflé's, I think his requiem is one of the most overlooked.
11:52 is where I start to cry every time. The trumpet players did a phenomenal job at projecting such deep emotion. I also picture this part as them looking death in the face, coming together, and choosing not to be afraid.
the aftermath of wrath
Seen this in a theatre as a staged version this evening. It was so intense i kept crying all the time and had numb, shaking hands and a numb face afterwards. That's what this music can do to you. Loved it
I can see it. I don't understand all of the Latin but the expression of the music does it.
Performed this in college, in the chorus. It remains one of the most moving things I have ever heard.
Playing it in 3 days. Final rehearsal tomorrow. Trumpet #3, the secret cool part (much more exposed and interesting than Trumpet #2)
I've had the privilege to see this performance live, truly a breathtaking experience!
People say "I want this played at my funeral" to any song but this is most canonically fitting
Not really, cause the Dies Irae was excluded from the lithurgic rite in 1970, so is "non canonic"
That makes for a long funeral.
I think it was played at Alessandro Manzoni's funeral
I don't think I have that budget for my funeral
@@MiScusi69not at all, that requiem was debuted 1 year after his death

Me too, long time ago
Requiem bellissimo in tutto direzione, coro, solisti, orchestra , suono chiaro ottima dinamica ,il massimo ,grazie a tutti
The fugue beginning at 1:20:09 must be one of the most surprising, and yet beautiful moments in the piece.

Heavenly performance and the masterpiece. Listening non-stop for two days in a row and wishing to melt in the every sound of it.
How terrific that Violetta Urmana has been the best Mezzo AND Soprano soloist in two different performances!
Couldn't agree more! She is the best!

I agree about the choir, but I feel the mikeing of the choir could have been better in the pianissimo portions. I have sung this as a member of the choir under the baton of Seiji Ozawa and believe me it was a peak experience, and this performance is the closest I've come since.
what an amazing rendition. i use this piece to teach my students about transmitting emotions
For real im no classic fan, just the great works and Requiem tears me up every time.. damn powerfull
"Transmitting emotions"... I like that.

Bravò
como nos honras querido andres, orgullo paisa de Colombia para el mundo.
Magnifica versión, otra joya del Maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Pero todos los honores para la Gran Violeta Urmana, simplemente soberbia, sin desconocer a los demás solistas; impresionante el bajo Kihwan Sim. Pero no puedo dejar de destacar la increíble grabación de sonido e imagen, absolutamente perfecta. Gracias por este excelente concierto.
Wonderful performance featuring four soloists with excellent voices who all sing very well. The recorded sound quality is amazing.
Estremecedora y magnífica versión. El Réquiem de Verdi es una pieza monumental.
This is my favorite Requiem Mass. Listen to 2 or 3 times a week. ❤👍
Söyleyecek söz bulamıyor insan. Hangi sıfat yeter böyle bir harikayı nitelendirmeye ? Bravo.
한국인 맞아요? 베르디 베이스 하기 힘든데 너무 좋아요 최고예요!!
Прекрасно❤🎉бессмертная музыка, чудесное исполнение... Браво.
Mein Gott das ist das beste Stück und beste Aufführung klassischer Musik die ich seit Langem gehört hab
6:05 - 9:33 I keep replaying this part-its so good!
Maravilhosa composição cheia de emoções e combinações sonoras incrivelmente poderosas!
Felicidades maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada
Man, that is absolutely beautiful.
9:35 Uno de los mejores Dies Irae de los últimos años!!
The most epic I've ever seen, I love this orchestra
1:26:11 Ce geste de gratitude du Chef d'orchestre à la fin veut tout dire! "merci pour ce petit bijou Verdi!" :)
No sé si Andrés leerá estos comentarios pero MAESTRO, me encanta totalmente tu estilo de dirección. Consigues que el ensamble responda a las verdaderas intenciones de Verdi en esta obra. El uso de matices es inigualable en cualquier otra versión disponible en RUclips y la intensidad en general es espectacular. ¡Felicidades maestro! Quizá deberías iniciar un canal propio para encontrarte más fácil. Saludos desde Utah, EEUU.
Una de las mejores versiones que he escuchado, pues todos están magníficos, orquesta, coro, solistas y su dirección
Брависсимо! Невероятно красивая месса! Величественная, возвышенная, печальная! Читала, что Дж.Верди хотел посвятить "Реквием" памяти Дж.Россини, но передумал.Когда я жила на Родине, заходила в православные храмы и кирху, чтобы послушать религиозную музыку.
Que potencia !!!!!! Me hacen vibrar de tanta energía!!! Magnífico!!!!⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
It is of course a sublime performance. You can expect no less from this outstanding conductor.
Thank you for this wonderful performance!
Классное исполнение! Спасибо всему коллективу за работу!
Pffffff, what can I say. the end is breathtaking..
Comme l'a dit Brahms "seul un génie a pu écrire une telle oeuvre"
What a fantastic performance! I love how this requiem toes the line between Catholic mass and opera.
Best version on RUclips! Beautiful and breathtaking, especially the suprano.
Actually in my humble opinion, the best youtube version is BBC proms 2011 conducted by Bychkov the best ever.
@@MichelElGhoul in that version the choir is too young
Amazing! Everyone does such a fantastic job. And those SOLOISTS!! So happy I get to see this and that it's out there for everyone to enjoy.
This will always be my favorite piece. Absolutely incredible
it seems impossible to not perform this masterpiece exceptionally well - when it's done as perfectly as this rendition
Großartig !!! So eine spannende Interpretation habe ich noch nie gehört und mitgesungen 😌 😍
Божественная музыка! Верди, когда писал это, наверняка слышал что-то из ВЫСШИХ СФЕР!
He was an atheist and materialistic. But his music was divine.
Realmente impresionante. Todos los que participaron en el video han hecho un trabajo excelente y admirable. Felicitaciones por su gran esfuerzo. Me encanta la música clásica especialmente cuando es interpretada por todos ustedes. Gracias por subirlo a youtube.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

non lo so quante volte che l'ho ascoltato questo rendimento ma ogni volte che la mia ascolta portarmi le mozioni perfetta e inspirarmi molto . Grazie molto
Another reason why we listen to classical 🥹🥹 my wish is to see this performance LIVE 🥹🥹
That'll send chills down your spine ❤
This is a beautiful performance. It is well balanced and the sonics are outstanding. The principals are in extremely good voice and sing with proper emotional involvement. I particularly like how Sim uses his beautifully modulated lyric bass with outstanding interpretive intelligence. Grimaldi soars with opulent and brilliant top tones. Pirgu and Urmana shine.Orozco-Estrada's conducting is exemplary.
A magnificent production. Soloists, choir, orchestra powerfully depict damnation and salvation. Bravo!
First time hearing Erika Grimaldi. What a tremendous instrument!
