In November, at the Mariinsky Concert Hall, soloists, chorus and orchestra of our theater will perform requiems by three different composers: Giuseppe Verdi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Gabriel Fauré. Three works share a theme and structure in common, but differ substantially in the realisation and means of expression, not to mention the difference in the styles of composers. Originally, the Requiem is a Service (Mass) in the Catholic and Lutheran church, a funeral multipart choral work, often with soloists, accompanied by the orchestra. On November 6th, Valery Gergiev will conduct the magnificent Verdi’s Requiem, perhaps the most theatrical way the traditional church funeral service was ever composed. Mozart’s Requiem, the composer’s last work, which is surrounded by numerous legends and mysteries, will be performed on November 20th under the baton of Andrei Petrenko, Mariinsky Theatre Principal Chorus Master. Fauré’s Requiem, his most famous work will be performed in a concert on November 25th, conducted by Marc Minkowski, a prominent specialist in French Baroque music.
