What is the point of making such comparisons? The two works are almost a century apart, the musical languages of Verdi and Mozart simply cannot be confronted, it's as absurd as comparing Vermeer with Turner or Dickens with Joyce!
@tenorismo Clerical music? The first performance of Verdi's Requiem did take place in a church but it was repeated a few days later at La Scala, it has never really been used along with the liturgy, I find it difficult to even think it could be called clerical, especially since Verdi was hardly a believer
Humano.

Siepi was a great Bass, but had nowhere near the distinguished operatic career of Pinza.
