Riccardo Chailly and La Scala maintain the gold standard for Verdi in this new release coupling two great but rarely recorded choral works. The Hymn of the Nations (Inno delle nazioni) features star tenor Freddie De Tommaso, the first tenor to record this work for Decca since Pavarotti. First performed in London in 1862, the Hymn incorporates the national anthems of Great Britain, France and Italy. The Four Scared Pieces (Quattro pezzi sacri) were published as a set in 1898, shortly before Verdi died. It portrays themes promising peace and the hope of paradise.
Autographed by Freddie De Tommaso.
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
