Live from the Royal Albert Hall , London. The BBC Philharmonic's principal conductor, Gianandrea Noseda , conducts an all-Italian line-up of soloists in Verdi's profoundly beautiful, operatically proportioned masterpiece. Verdi's daring arrangement of the Latin text for the Requiem Mass brought its share of criticism in his day, but its sheer magnificence remains unsurpassed. Presented by Petroc Trelawny .
