Summary
Patrick Hahn conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and combined choruses in Verdi’s Requiem at the Usher Hall, featuring four soloists and BSL performance by Paul Whittaker.
Why it's fantastic
This massive wall of sound is best known for its thundering drums and terrifying visions of judgment day, familiar to many from countless film trailers. It is an immense, visceral experience where two large choirs join forces to perform music that feels more like a gripping opera than a traditional church service.
