Zitti, zitti, moviamo a vendetta | Chorus from "Rigoletto"
Music: Giuseppe Verdi
Lyrics: Francesco Maria Piave
Cologne Male Voice Choir (Kölner Männer-Gesang-Verein, KMGV)
Philharmonie Südwestfalen
Conductor: Bernhard Steiner
Live at Kölner Philharmonie 07/07/2013
200 years after Richard Wagner was born, the Cologne Male Voice Choir sang a concert featuring some of the composer's most famous works as well as songs written by some of his friends - and some of his adversaries. Passionately loved and passionately hated, more than 130 years after his death Richard Wagner is still a polarizing figure.
Even though Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner were born in the same year (1813) the two composers were worlds apart - concerning their music as well as on a personal level. Reportedly, they avoided each other throughout their lives.
The Cologne Male Voice Choir's chamber choir sings the famous chorus "Zitti, zitti, muoviamo a vendetta" from Verdi's opera "Rigoletto".
