麻豆社 Proms 2008

One of the best known choral works in the repertory is performed at the 2008 Proms. Verdi's Requiem is every bit as popular as his famous operas and Verdi himself conducted the British premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in 1875 to a tumultuous reception.

Here, over 220 voices of the massed choirs of the 麻豆社 Symphony Chorus and Crouch End Festival Chorus, an international line-up of soloists and Jiri Belohlavek conducting the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra perform what the composer called one of his greatest achievements. Introduced by Suzy Klein.
