some people try to state that Cherubini's Requiem is better than Mozart's or Mozart's is better, but c'mon, this is not a competition. they were made in distinct eras, distinct countries and with different contexts, each one of them are beautiful in their own way. I love this Requiem and I love Mozart's Requiem as much. let's just appreciate both music ✨❤️
The difference is that the Mozart' s Requiem has not been completed by Maestro. The movements composed with his hand are divinal, the rest depends on how close they imitate the oiginal ideas of the Mozart.
As a child growing up with a father who was a musician, I heard the name Luigi among other family members who were born and raised on the other side of the world. My father Richard Cherubini became recognized for being a world class piano rebuilder as well as a musician. Rich Cherubini played jazz starting with the upright bass. To this day, almost every one of us can at least play a tune or two on something or other. So wonderful to be able to hear my great great Grandfather's music. And I thought I was good banging on the drums. Ha!
Michael Cherubini i really love this requiem too, and I’m proud to say that he was also my great great grandfather, and that I’m following his steps and about to pursue a music career in Viola Performance
Thanks to your great great Grandfather I had the privilege of being able to sing in the Soprano section of the Kapiti Chorale in New Zealand when it was performed. I love it so much.
The Oklahoma State philharmonic is slated to play this piece with choir in a month’s time. I’ll be playing viola on it. Your ancestor composed a marvelous piece. I wish you the best of luck with your own viola studies!
Ascoltarlo oggi 10 febbraio 2021 nel giorno del ricordo, e pensare che ero presente in mezzo a quella multitudine nel luglio del 2010, mi commovo veramente, sopratutto quando si arriva all'agnus dei, una delle pgine musicali piu' straordinarie che siano state scritte.
Ho avuto l'opportunità di cantare sia il Requiem di Mozart che quello di Cherubini. Emozionanti entrambi, preferisco quello di Cherubini, specialmente se diretto come lo ha diretto il Maestro MUTI!!!
@@lucianocolato6352 The beauty is in the ears of the beholder. Therefore I can appreciate your preference for Haydens requiem. Chances are though that another one favours the requiem composed by say Gounod, Mozart or Verdi 😉
Molto espressivo,presenta una continua tensione emotiva che conduce l'ascoltatore fino al finale in un viaggio interiore di vari stadi e sfumature ✨👍✨💞💕❤️💝
remember when I was first time confronted with this musik in 1980 - was a great time. I taped two vinyl on audio cassettes. And listend again and again in the car. The world is more than material matter. And it´s more than one can mention. The world is one emotion, the one feeling. Love.
Merci très belle interprétation Le Requiem en do mineur pour chœur mixte est une messe de Requiem composée par Luigi Cherubini en 1816 et créée le 21 janvier 1817 à la Basilique de Saint-Denis pour une cérémonie de commémoration du vingt-quatrième anniversaire de l'exécution de Louis XVI1. L'œuvre est exécutée ensuite lors des funérailles de Ludwig van Beethoven en 1827. En février 1820, pour les funérailles de Charles Ferdinand d'Artois, duc de Berry, une marche funèbre et un motet In Paradisum sont ajoutés à la cérémonie. En 1834, l’œuvre est refusée par l'archevêque de Paris car elle utilise des voix de femmes, Cherubini compose alors en 1836 un second Requiem, le Requiem en ré mineur, pour chœur d'hommes.
Bello bello bello! Da tenore, in fase di studio percepisco una voce sulle mie corde che emerge, di tanto in tanto, rispetto alle altre. Dettagli di registrazione probabilmente. Notevole esecuzione ad ogni modo. A parte l'installazione del dies irae. Stasera a cuneo tocca a noi hehe
Sublime.... Una de las maravillas del Eterno Mundo de la Musica...Bella y sentida interpretación...Gracias Coro y Orquesta y especialmente al Maestro Muti...
We were rehearsing this wonderful piece for our Easter concert (Ryde Chorus, Isle of Wight, under the excellent leadership of Philip Fryer.) Sadly, due to the the COVID-10 pandemic we were unable to perform it. We hope to do so in the future. To keep our spirits (and our voices) up, we listen to this very often and sing along with it, normally twice over at a sitting. I agree with with a previous comment that Luigi Cherubini is right up there with the masters. Wonderful music.
This is a wonderful Requiem written by Cherubini! Lovers of this concert please also check the same Requiem by Studenten koor en Orkest conducted by Elbert Besavis. It is simply outstanding! Not that this performance is bad. Beethoven who never wrote a Requiem said "If I was to write a Requiem, Cherubini would be my only model!". Further Beethoven requested that it be played at his funeral! Schumann deemed it "without equal in the world!". My hairs stand just listening to this remarkable Requiem by Cherubini which is second to none!
This sound work is very clearly in line with the Magisterium of Church in a spirit of continuity with tradition and concern for evangelization in a world without god
I discovered this piece a few years ago. That was such precious discovery. Such a piece not sufficiently know as it should. After a while I read that among "fans" of Luigi Cherubini, there was a certain W.A. Mozart. Not surprising...
I can't escape the impression that Mutti didn't really enjoy this. He appears very perfunctory, emotionless, and robotic in his directing. 8 months after my comment here above I have come to the realization that it seems to be the common posture of Mutti
This music is so moving and irresistible, I can only describe it as the forbidden fruit. Full disclosure, I'm crazy for vocals especially within symphony's. Yes I'm a newcomer to this particular fantastic music, but my trajectory was always from vocalist music. This being one of my recent discoveries. Oddly enough, from "Endeavour". Although, this wasn't the first from "Endeavour", only the most recent.
The opening of this requiem is superb and unearthly. I like to enter Heaven this way to welcome me. The rest is magnificent too, it is Cherubini of course, at it's best.
This great Fiorentino worked mainly in Paris, France, but he is a glory of Florence, Italy. His music is powerful and sweet together. Beethoven considered him one among the greatest!!. Roberto Mazzanti
If you like it, you shall appreciate his extraordinary Requiem in D for male voices composed for his funerals one year before Berlioz's chef d'oeuvre; il faut ajouter que le site de ce concert est absolument superbe
Cada vez me gusta más. El próximo 25 de marzo lo cantaré con el Coro de Cámara de Extremadura en Plasencia. Anteriormente ya lo hemos cantado en Cáceres y en Badajoz con la Orquesta de Extremadura y bajo la batuta del maestro Víctor Pablo Pérez. Every time I like more. Next March 25 I will sing it with the Choir of Chamber of Extremadura in Plasencia (Spain). Previusly we have already sung it in Cáceres and in Badajoz with the Orchestra of Extremadura and under the guidance of the conductor Víctor Pablo Pérez.
Έιναι αξιον άποριας ο ηχοληπτης η δεν ξερω ποιος στο ποιο εμβληματικο μερος του εργου να χαμήλωνει την ενταση του ηχου με αποτελεσμα να χανεται ολη η ομορφια αυτης της υπεροχης δημιουργιας.
Aside from the fact that the upload was done with the channels reversed, women should be on the left, men on the right, upper strings on the left and so on, add to that it is an outdoor concert, the audio is quite nice, a few too many microphones, but what the heck, whose counting? I do feel the balance between chorus and orchestra could have been a little better if the choir not been so dominant in the recording. I don't know the work, never got to record it, but my feeling is that the ensembles were in good hands and that this a very good performance with strong merits.
I agree about the balance of the choir versus orchestra. I find the choir dominates too much but appreciate the fact that I can understand most of the words. However, I prefer the better balanced, crisper and more intimate version of the Boston Baroque, director Martin Pearlman.
Pubblico dei concerti all'aperto come al solito ignorante peggio di una capra e maleducato: applaude tra un movimento e l'altro quando è regola non farlo, specie in capolavori oratori di stampo religioso, spezza la continuità delle emozioni. Anche se c'è una breve pausa tra un movimento e l'altro non è corretto né educato applaudire, la pausa non è fatta per quello, ma solo per staccare un movimento dall'altro, ma questo non pregiudica l'unità del componimento che quindi va lasciato proseguire senza interruzioni. Si applaude alla fine, sempre.
conmovedor la música. Las imagenes del rio, la montaña.... son especialmente empalagosas y melifluas. Siempre nos queda escucharlo sin mirar el video o solo cuando sale la orquesta. Vamos que las imagenes son un desastre absoluto. Magnifico, eso si, Cherubini.
Luigi Cherubini 1760 - 1842 Requiem en Do mineur Luigi Cherubini est un compositeur né en Italie, installé un temps à Vienne en Autriche, et qui, dès 1786, s'installera définitivement en France. Admiré par Joseph Haydn ou Ludwig Van Beethoven, il compose des opéras, mais leur succès en demi-teinte le poussera définitivement vers la musique sacrée, avec une production de 8 messes et 2 requiem. Tous les compositeurs ne l’ont pas apprécié : le jeune Hector Berlioz, par exemple. Luigi Cherubini, qui dirigeait alors le Conservatoire de Paris, avait instauré deux entrées distinctes à la bibliothèque, l’une pour les garçons, l’autre pour les filles. Le jeune Berlioz, bravache, enfreignit cet interdit, et une vive altercation s’en suivit. Cherubini demanda le nom de l’impétrant, et Berlioz répondit : « Monsieur ! mon nom vous sera peut-être connu quelque jour, mais pour aujourd’hui… vous ne le saurez pas ! ». Dans cette période troublée de l’histoire de France, il sera successivement « Compositeur officiel » de l’Ancien Régime, de la Révolution, du Directoire, du Consulat puis de l’Empire. Ce Requiem fut écrit en l'honneur de Louis XVI, et créé pour l’anniversaire de sa mort en janvier 1816.
Sì, ma tanto Cherubini è, e rimane, un musicista ITALIANO, anche se i Francesi lo vorrebbero nel Pantheon dei lori più grandi musicisti che poi, a vedere bene, non sono tantissimi!!!!!

Would you like to see a signature of Luigi Cherubini at the age of 15?
Your great great grandfather is the greatest "obscure" composer I have ever discovered. May his music one day reach more ears.
Michael Cherubini i really love this requiem too, and I’m proud to say that he was also my great great grandfather, and that I’m following his steps and about to pursue a music career in Viola Performance

A fantastic performance of a vastly underappreciated masterpiece. This belongs in the pantheon of great Requiems.
I appreciate you perspective. Personally, I'd rather see the performers Requiem on hand and let the imagination do the rest.

Splendida esecuzione del Maestro Muti del capolavoro di Cherubini, grandissimo musicista italiano!
finora avevo ascoltato centinaia di volte i Requiem di Mozart e Verdi Salieri , aggiungerò questo stupendo REQUIEM DI CHERUBINI AL REPERTORIO !!
Mozart's Requiem is a different work (not piece !)
Può provare ad ascoltare quello di Niccolò Jommelli.
Il requiem più bello è quello di Michael Haydn. Un grande capolavoro praticamente sconosciuto.

Magnífico. No lo conocía. Muchas gracias. Silvia Escobar
No wonder, that Beethoven was impressed and cherished Cherubini as a composer! It is possible to trace the influence. Overwhelming!
Seeing this and listening to this I do understand,why Maestro BEETHOVEN was such a great admiror of CHERUBINI.......

Eine wundervolle Aufnahme eines großartigen Werkes! Leider mit permanentem Störgeräusch, wahrscheinlich vom Straßenverkehr.

Because he is Italian
