Veri Requiem
The penultimate concert in the 2016 Proms season features Verdi's thunderous Requiem.
Marin Alsop is at the helm conducting the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the BBC Proms Youth Choir.
Tom Service introduces for television and talks to Marin Alsop backstage. The soloists line-up for Verdi's largest scale non-operatic work are soprano Tamara Wilson, mezzo-soprano Alisa Kolosova, tenor Michael Fabiano and bass Morris Robinson.
Verdi's Requiem had its British premiere in 1875 at the Royal Albert Hall with the composer himself conducting. Its fire and brimstone depiction of death and destruction never fails to appeal, most famously of all in the tumultuous Dies Irae.
