Requiem

Description

JONAS KAUFMANN AND DANIEL BARENBOIM JOIN FORCES FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL REQUIEM: In 1874, Giuseppe Verdi presented his Messa da requiem at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. In 2012, on the same stage, Daniel Barenboim conducts this masterpiece for his first recording as musical director of the Milanese opera. This version brings together an ideal cast, featuring the indispensable German tenor Jonas Kaufmann, as well as soprano Anja Harteros, mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca, and bass René Pape. Daniel Barenboim's direction highlights the contrasts and power of the work, while the choir of the Orchestra della Scala and the soloists deliver an exceptional performance, praised by critics. Elina Garanca is "enchanting," Anja Harteros "makes the final movement the most sublime of death scenes" (The Times). As for Jonas Kaufmann, "his warm and velvety timbre makes him exceptional in Verdi. Kaufmann's talent proves that [.] today's stars can take ownership of his work with authority" (The Telegraph).
