Many, many years ago, my fellow opera-lover Susan Gould sent me a poster from a performance of the Verdi REQUIEM given at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice in 1972. With her usual thoughtfulness, Susan very kindly took the time to have it autographed for me by the four soloists – Katia Ricciarelli, Beverly Wolff, Nicolai Gedda, and Bonaldo Giaiotti – and by Maestro Thomas Schippers. It’s one of my treasures.
Today, completely by chance, I found the performance on YouTube. Listen to it here.
