MusicWeb International‘s critics have released their 2019 Recordings of the Year and critic Ralph Moore has selected our Verdi: Messa da Requiem CD/Blu-Ray/DVD/Download!
“We are hardly short of recordings of Verdi’s Requiem but I recommend this new version by one of the greatest living Russian conductors, Yuri Temirkanov, as it stars two great female singers in an age increasingly bereft of big operatic voices. A Grand Old Man at the helm and the finest new soprano [Dinara Alieva] on the circuit today are sufficient inducement for me to endorse this weighty, majestic performance featuring an inspired chorus underpinned by true Russian basses.”
