Description:

This is the second release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000". This is a masterful performance of the Requiem recorded at the 1951 concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of Verdi's death. As Arturo Toscanini, who always disciplined his music with a strict attitude, the performance has a tense atmosphere, but the way he sharply approaches the essence of Verdi's music with both religious solemnity and dramatic emotion is unparalleled as a conductor who knew the composer's last years.
