About
The legendary Toscanini performance of the Verdi Requiem from 1951 is currently available only as part of a large box set. Regis presents this electrifying performance as a single, super budget CD.
‘Toscanini’s account of the Requiem brings a supreme performance, searingly intense. The opening of the Dies Irae has never been so hair-raising ................. And rarely has the chorus shone so brightly in this work on record, while the soloists are near-ideal, a vintage team.’ Penguin Guide
