Description: Yannick Nezet-Seguin leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in Verdi's Requiem--the conductor's first performance at Carnegie Hall as the orchestra's music director. Written three years after Verdi's operatic triumph Aida, the Requiem combines the drama of the stage, the emotional power of an oratorio, and the intensity of a symphony in a grand Romantic expression of grief.
