Thank you for not putting adds in between this master piece.

Apart of the fact that this rendition is extraordinary, I want to mention the fact that the public awaited 25 seconds to start to clap. That was beautiful

Verdi's is the most beautiful requiem, and this rendition is superb.

People say "I want this played at my funeral" to any song but this is most canonically fitting

Probably the most beautiful piece of music ever written 💙

Can't imagine the premiere of this work was performed in a very small church.

I've had the privilege to see this performance live, truly a breathtaking experience!

Onore a te, Giuseppe Verdi. Il tuo Requiem si muove nella dimensione dello spazio...Diventa propulsione... Ci spinge con la forza di un razzo...Ci allontana dalla terra sino a vederla un piccolo punto luminoso e noi...noi sentiamo il nostro volto lacrimoso di sublime emozione... e l'umanità... è già...solo... un ricordo...Ottima esecuzione..

11:52 is where I start to cry every time. The trumpet players did a phenomenal job at projecting such deep emotion. I also picture this part as them looking death in the face, coming together, and choosing not to be afraid.

한국인으로서 베이스 심기환님 자랑스럽습니다^^

Bass was sublime.

Giuseppe Verdi makes me cry everytime..

Ah yes, *classical music is so relaxing*

Love the energy of the conductor. This is really a fine performance.

How terrific that Violetta Urmana has been the best Mezzo AND Soprano soloist in two different performances!

Ich hatte schonmal die Ehre dieses Requiem als Chormitglied mit aufführen zu dürfen und es war atemberaubend. Guiseppe Verdi chapeau!!!

Seen this in a theatre as a staged version this evening. It was so intense i kept crying all the time and had numb, shaking hands and a numb face afterwards. That's what this music can do to you. Loved it

Heavenly performance and the masterpiece. Listening non-stop for two days in a row and wishing to melt in the every sound of it.

Bravo Choir 💐 Bravo Orchestra 💐 Bravo Soloists 💐 Bravo Maestro 💐 Rest In Peace ✨ Giuseppe Verdi 🙏🏻💐

The fugue beginning at 1:20:09 must be one of the most surprising, and yet beautiful moments in the piece. It's an incredible subject, and developed pretty aggressively, with stretti almost immediately after the four-part statement. It's a beautiful moment, and climactic in just the right way before the quiet ending. It must stand alongside Liszt's Dante Symphony as one of the best integrations of fugue in a Romantic orchestral work.

questa esecuzione non so quante volte l'ho già ascoltata e ogni volta mi commuove alle lacrime per l'assoluta perfezione raggiunta dal maestro, dal coro, dall'orchestra e dai cantanti solisti. Per me nessun'altra esecuzione è paragonabile a questa per la perfezione raggiunta

Requiem bellissimo in tutto direzione, coro, solisti, orchestra , suono chiaro ottima dinamica ,il massimo ,grazie a tutti

6:05 - 9:33 I keep replaying this part-its so good!

I wish I could live in Frankfurt. I would never miss any performance of this wonderful orchestra, without doubt one of the best in the world!

Ogni volta che ascolto l' esecuzione della Messa da Requiem di GIUSEPPE VERDI , trovo qualche passaggio che mi era sfuggito et questo MI da' molta soddisfazione .

Performed this in college, in the chorus. It remains one of the most moving things I have ever heard.

Love it! My favourite part is "tuba mirum". You can almost see the dead rising from ther graves to the sound of the trumpet. Makes the hair on my arms stand on end! Also this will be my first concert after Covid. I can't tell you how excited I am!!

What beautiful composition. A masterpiece of a great compositor. VivA forever the music of Verdi!!!!

Singing this with my NYC choir at Carnegie hall in May which will probably be the last time I sing with them for a while which is sad. This was also the first piece I ever sang at Carnegie hall with John Rutter conducting. Amazing experience! I'm sure I will have tears while singing this in May! Just gorgeous!

Stupendous Requiem and outstanding performance! Verdi used his incompatible mastery of vocal ensemble in this masterpiece. For too long I was so enamored with Mozart’s Requiem, I wouldn’t want to listen to Verdi’s, even though I’ve known most of his operas by heart. I’m glad I came to my senses!

The performances were beyond first class! The soloists each had divine voices and many times were ecstatic. I did not know the piece being performed but was comfortably entertained by soloists and a fantastic chorus. The orchestra complemented the whole, giving clarity, and pure individual artistry, all drawn together by their conductor, who fine tuned the piece and imbibed it with his energy, enthusiasm and commitment to every note, each word. Superlatives desert me; it was simply superb!

I suspect that I have commented before, but let it be said again. My God what a piece. My God what a performance!

Прекрасно❤🎉бессмертная музыка, чудесное исполнение... Браво.

For me, this piece and Beethoven's 6th are 2 of the greatest musical compositions of all time!

The tenor's expressiveness, musicality and lovely legato certainly make listening to him a joy.

This orchestra is outstanding, I am so grateful for the many performances they are making available. This is a rather "operatic" reading, but then, that is the nature of Verdi's version of the Requiem. Ms Urmana stands out in a fantastic performance (as usual for her), but not to diminish the other excellent soloists. Perhaps the choir could have been larger......? A very enjoyable performance.

My choir is singing this next month with the Salt Lake Symphony and I cannot wait!

KZfaq nos ha hecho el regalo incomparable de no menos ve veinte versiones del Requiem verdiano. Esta es, sin duda, una de las más bellas, y nos permite volver a la esencia misma de la obra maestra del gran compositor. ¡Amigos: mírenla, escúchenla conmuévanse, vale la pena!

Auch ich bedanke mich dafür, daß hier keine Werbung benutzt wurde. Sibylle Sindermann

Stunning. A great rendition of a work that I have been listening to for 70 years, live and recordings. The 1967 live performance in Montreal with Karajan conducting La Scala, Pavarotti, Ghiaurov, Price, Cosotto was unforgettable but this one comes close.

42:40 This is one of the most beautiful classical parts I have heard in a long time. That's literally what asciension sounds like to me. 🥺

Absolutely wonderful. Loved the soloists, whose voices were so beautifully balanced between squillo and volume; conducting is just superb and the orchestra great in following. The choir amazing. BIG KUDOS to the sound engineers and camera production. This is becoming my favorite version although there are some fantastic versions in KZfaq. Here’s the epitome of masterful esa of the GREAT Giuseppe Verdi. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! ❤❤❤

Mein Gott das ist das beste Stück und beste Aufführung klassischer Musik die ich seit Langem gehört hab

This is my favorite Requiem Mass. Listen to 2 or 3 times a week. ❤👍

The most epic I've ever seen, I love this orchestra

The requiem is simply the best requiem ever written...

Immortal piece of art, full of pathos and drama. Andrés Orozco: colombian pride 👏

Such an underrated orchestra. Though, it seems they are gaining popularity since the lockdown when their KZfaq videos became widely viewed. Well merited!

9:35 Uno de los mejores Dies Irae de los últimos años!!

Un lujo escuchar la música de Verdi. Gran expresión de los sentimientos. ❤️🌿😔✨🪐✨

what an amazing rendition. i use this piece to teach my students about transmitting emotions

The fact that Ms. Urmana takes the mezzo-sopran instead the soprano is baffling to me. I know sometimes she takes a role of a lower voice in operas but I've heard her with Bychkov performing this piece and it was sublime. Her voice has a smoother tone, better breathing control, she doesn't struggle during the long phrases and her "perdendosi lift" to pianissimo at 01:19:38 is the most ethereal. Not heard since the great Caballe. Her voice has got heft to it and of course, her final high C at the climax Libera Me explodes like a nuclear bomb. As I was listening to this, I was like "Urmana is literally right there! Let her sing it."

Pffffff, what can I say. the end is breathtaking..

UNA POTENZA DELLA NATURA, SIA L'OPERA DI VERDI CHE LA SUA ESECUZIONE MAGISTRALE.

como nos honras querido andres, orgullo paisa de Colombia para el mundo.

Man, that is absolutely beautiful.

La voz de la extraordinaria Violeta Urmana, con los años, se ha adensado maravillosamente. Si es una experiencia increíble escucharla como soprano, en varias versiones del Réquiem de Verdi, y lo es igualmente disfrutar su impresionante rol de mezzo en esta versión llena de méritos!

Magnifica interpretazione del capolavoro verdiano: cast stellare ma soprattutto perfettamente armonizzato sia sul piano stilistico sia su quello fonico-timbrico. Ottima la direzione del Maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada, alla guida di un'orchestra e di un coro eccellenti. Fra le esecuzioni più "giovani", questa si situa senza dubbio tra le migliori.

Fantastica esecuzione. Fantastici solisti, coro, orchestra, maestro . Preghiera sublime che ascolto spesso ed ogni volta riesce a commuovermi, specialmente se la esecuzione è a questi livelli di viva partecipazione da parte degli artisti.

Thank you for this wonderful performance!

Estremecedora y magnífica versión. El Réquiem de Verdi es una pieza monumental.

Que potencia !!!!!! Me hacen vibrar de tanta energía!!! Magnífico!!!!⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Felicidades maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada

I can't get tired of this...

It is of course a sublime performance. You can expect no less from this outstanding conductor.

Magnifica versión, otra joya del Maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Pero todos los honores para la Gran Violeta Urmana, simplemente soberbia, sin desconocer a los demás solistas; impresionante el bajo Kihwan Sim. Pero no puedo dejar de destacar la increíble grabación de sonido e imagen, absolutamente perfecta. Gracias por este excelente concierto.

1:26:11 Ce geste de gratitude du Chef d'orchestre à la fin veut tout dire! "merci pour ce petit bijou Verdi!" :)

First time hearing Erika Grimaldi. What a tremendous instrument!

Una de las mejores versiones que he escuchado, pues todos están magníficos, orquesta, coro, solistas y su dirección

Pour l'avoir chanté quelques fois, je peux vous dire que cette version est l'une des plus belles qui m'ait été donnée d'entendre. Les solistes, les choeurs et l'orchestre étaient de très grande qualité, avec une direction des plus sensibles. Bref, c'était magnifique.

Best version so far. Best tempo, best sound, best one

it seems impossible to not perform this masterpiece exceptionally well - when it's done as perfectly as this rendition

Großartig !!! So eine spannende Interpretation habe ich noch nie gehört und mitgesungen 😌 😍

Wonderful performance featuring four soloists with excellent voices who all sing very well. The recorded sound quality is amazing.

No sé si Andrés leerá estos comentarios pero MAESTRO, me encanta totalmente tu estilo de dirección. Consigues que el ensamble responda a las verdaderas intenciones de Verdi en esta obra. El uso de matices es inigualable en cualquier otra versión disponible en KZfaq y la intensidad en general es espectacular. ¡Felicidades maestro! Quizá deberías iniciar un canal propio para encontrarte más fácil. Saludos desde Utah, EEUU.

Another reason why we listen to classical 🥹🥹 my wish is to see this performance LIVE 🥹🥹

Verdi lo conosco pressoché tutto, ma devo dire che i cinque minuti del Libera me con il soprano e il coro a cappella (1:16:25) sono probabilmente il punto più alto dell'intera sua opera. La sublime linea melodica e il modo in cui la solista e il coro si accompagnano e si rispondono armonicamente hanno veramente ben pochi paragoni in tutto il repertorio. Grandissima anche l'esecuzione, Grimaldi soprattutto e l'orchestra - basti sentire la nettezza dei due ultimi accordi.

Söyleyecek söz bulamıyor insan. Hangi sıfat yeter böyle bir harikayı nitelendirmeye ? Bravo.

Comme l'a dit Brahms "seul un génie a pu écrire une telle oeuvre"

Maravilhosa composição cheia de emoções e combinações sonoras incrivelmente poderosas!

Não canso de ouvir Requiem de Verdi. Das composições de Requiem, a de Verdi é a minha preferida. Quase sei de cor. Também venho escutando desde meus 23 anos e tenho 56 agora. A primeira vez escutei curiosamente uma versão em LP de Paganini. Apaixonei-me na hora. Tudo era tão suplicante: Em minha imaginação eu parecia ver a cena das almas nas penumbras esperando a "luz perpétua". Depois, li num jornal em Belo Horizonte que a soprano Celine Imbert se apresentaria cantando esse Requiem no Palácio das Artes. Eu então não tinha como adquirir o ingresso, era apenas estudante, mas felizmente fui presenteado com um ingresso por um amigo médico e sua senhora, muitos queridos meus (Deus os tenha consigo!) ele, diretor de um Hospital em BH. Sentei-me na primeira fileira e fiquei encantado com a audição. Celine parecia incorporar o sofrimento da alma, suplicando o descanso e a redenção. Confesso que sofri com ela ante toda a dramaticidade das árias e da orquestra.

This superb Chorus is one of the finest I've heard. Beautiful singing throughout, especially in the very quiet sections of the piece. Lovely. Extremely clear diction. I can see why they have the superb reputation they have. Very well-deserved and I hope that the hr-Sinfonieorchester invites them to perform more often with them. Also enjoyed the bass soloist. And I always enjoy the outstandingly superb hr-Sinfonieorchester and watching them perform, and Andrés Orozco-Estrada is excellent at working with a Chorus (there are some conductors who are not). Enjoyed seeing the Cimbassina(?) at the end of the brass section. Danke.

I have a master’s degree in Choral Conducting, and this is hands down, the best rendition of this piece I have ever heard. Incredible.

Amazing! Everyone does such a fantastic job. And those SOLOISTS!! So happy I get to see this and that it's out there for everyone to enjoy.

This will always be my favorite piece. Absolutely incredible

I am old and want this at my funeral. The whole orchestra and chorus, and those wonderful soloists, as well as the marvelous conductor. Please import them from Germany to Tucson, Arizona for me! I am so moved by this performance, so crisp and full of feeling. How does the soprano live through the Libera me?

What a fantastic performance! I love how this requiem toes the line between Catholic mass and opera.

Singers are great! I loved the soprano, wonderful technique

Best version on KZfaq! Beautiful and breathtaking, especially the suprano.

Impatiently waiting for the day when the COVID situation allows concerts again

I believe that, if Verdi could, by some miracle, see and hear this, would be ecstatic! The orchestra is getting better everiday and is certainly one of the best of the best. Estrada is a miracle conductor. One almost does'nt need a score to "read" the music. He "is" the music pouring out of his whole body, his face, his intensity. I know that some people prefer the "robotic" type of conductor, standing uprigth in "attention", stern face, baton barely moving....but, well, it's a free world (some say). The Libera Me is superb, almost made me cry and Erika Grimaldi, that didn't start very well (still "cold" perhaps)was a real star! But all the other singers were very well with, naturally, a special mention to the well known Urmana. A Requiem to cherish. They don't come much better.

한국인 맞아요? 베르디 베이스 하기 힘든데 너무 좋아요 최고예요!!

Was für eine dramatische und spannende Messe!

Moving and absolutely spectacular. One of the great works of Western Art. I can never get through "Confutatis, 35:05," without weeping.
