Verdi: Requiem (Opera Italiana)

Recorded in Naples Ponticelli Sports stadium, Luciano Pavarotti enthralled a live audience with his beautiful performance of Verdi's Requiem. The opera, which is one of Pavarotti's favourites, concludes with "Libera me Domine", a verse originally written to memorialise composer Gioacchino Rossini. The ode was never used and later became part of writer Alessandro Manzoni's Requiem.
