(1/7) Verdi - Requiem: 1997 Diana-Solti Memorial Prom

[@glagolitic]

I thank you for remembering this unique concert. I was in the audience (up ine Gallery) for this performance and it utterly transfixed me. I also made a recording that night - in stereo - and my tape seems to have survived the ravages of time in better condition. I have transferred a brief passage (the Dies Irae and about two minutes extra) and I'm about a month away from having the whole concert restored, remastered, and ready to upload. If anybody's interested, you can see the five minute "teaser" here: Verdi Requiem 1997 Proms Test

Dear Hirst, Many thanks for uploading this; I too was there on the night. It was a truly moving occasion. Best wishes, Rabengeraun Rache

Just had to add Rene Pape's voice on his first "Christe" sends a shiver down my spine!
