Manzoni Requiem (Excerpts)

Giuseppe Verdi wrote a mass in memory of his close friend Allesandro Manzoni. Emil Mollenhauer has arranged five sections from that mass into one of the most powerful works for concert band ever scored. This emotional rollercoaster takes the listener from the depths of aural gloom to some of the most brilliant of tutti passages. An immense work of gigantic proportion! (13:55)
