Which Requiem Wins in a Fight?
25/11/2023 - Which Requiem Wins in a Fight? Berlioz vs Verdi
The Day of Wrath is finally here, and facing off in the final requiem fight are two of the biggest requiems ever composed. They span the Romantic Period, and show the two composers at opposite sides of their careers. Berlioz is in the full flower of his youthful energy, drawing on his fifth--opus, that is--to blast his opponent. But Verdi responds with experience and wisdom, and may prove that 16 timpani are no match for one bass drum! After half a year and 22 previous bouts, it's the final match of Which Requiem Wins in a Fight? In the end, there can be only one, and YOU get to decide which one!
