About

The 50th anniversary of Toscanini's death in 2007 was celebrated with gala concerts around the world, one of the most glamorous events being this benefit concert at the basilica of St Mark's in Venice, where the Requiem was first performed, on 22nd May 1874, to mark the first anniversary of the death of the Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni.

The 11-year-old child prodigy Lorin Maazel once met the Italian maestro, in New York, and Toscanini's legacy left a permanent mark on Maazel as a musician. His tour with the Symphonica Toscanini, called 'In the Footsteps of Toscanini', culminated in two concerts in Venice featuring Verdi's Requiem, a showpiece of Toscanini's, and St Mark's proved to be an ideal venue for this eloquent and musically impressive confessional work.

The Orchestra Symphonica Toscanini was founded in Rome in 2006 and consists of some two hundred young and highly skilled musicians, all of whom have been selected by Lorin Maazel, the orchestra's Music Director for life.

Recorded at the basilica di San Marco, Venice - 16 November 2007.
