Verdi Requiem - London Symphony Orchestra - Sir Colin Davis (RAH, 1997)

This performance was given on 12 September 1997 in the Royal Albert Hall London as part of the 1997 BBC Proms Season. It was given in memory of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. The concert was due to be conducted by Sir Georg Solti, who sadly also passed away shortly before this concert. In case you prefer it, this concert is also available as a multi-part mono video recording on YouTube which is available via the following playlist:    • Verdi Requiem 1997 Diana-Solti Memorial Prom   My recording was taken from a BBC Radio 3 FM broadcast so obviously is only an audio track, but it is stereo.
