This isn't your typical requiem; it's Verdi unbuttoned and unbound. With St.Clair's commentary slicing through the history and straight to the heart, expect a visceral journey through the "Dies irae," where terror and beauty collide, and the "Sanctus," a celestial burst of clarity. The "Libera me" is not just sung; it's unleashed—a raw, pleading force of nature that will seize your soul.
