Does anybody know how call this part of aria..? I heard this sad beautiful song at the funeral one time..

[suzyqplacet]

What a shame that such a precious piece of film should be accompanied by MOZART'S requiem! Thank you so much for the image but please change the sound track!

[adam246811]

@suzyqplacet what...mozart's requiem isn't also a precious piece? but true, it would be more appropriate to have the verdi requiem.

[bvb7589]

Verdi actually had an opera named "REQUIEM".....he also had some religious music and arias: "Messa da requiem", Laudi alla virgine Maria", Ave Maria"...I would not criticize, correct nor sugest anything to the good person that made this presentation, for fear of hurting his feeling; all the oposite, I profusely thank him for his good taste and good idea.

@sillychad18 :-))))

beh per avere una idea di quello che si senti' quel giorno, ovviamente non esistono testimonianze in audio, ma quando il corteo arrivò al cimitero monumentale di Milano, c'era l'orchestra della Scala, i cori di Scala e del Conservatorio, che eseguirono brani di Verdi diretti da Arturo Toscanini. Un grande momento allora di commozione soltanto, ora direi di storia, e di storia bellissima.

@foerster Da quello che so io avevano cantato tutti spontaneamente il Va Pensiero!

[foerster]

@sillychad18 lo diresse Arturo Toscanini, all'arrivo della bara presso il Cimitero Monumentale di Milano.

Ahi descansa el cuerpo del mas grande de todos los compositores!!!!!!!

Viva Verdi!!!

[mortalfrog007]

haha very appropriate! mozarts requiem, they should have stayed with his own messa da requiem! the dies irae is just engenious...

[ezev8logos]

@mortalfrog007 I guess because it's too brutal for this.

but ... that was just the kind of men Verdi was and his music always powerfull!!!

so you're right he would have preferred something violent and powerful as his dies irae

[SteveAndrewLangford]

I feel like a dummy, but from what piece is the Loggione piece played here, from?

[prejcush]

I wonder, were Verdi ever caught on film when he was still alive? The technique of filming was invented in 1894 and he died in 1901 so it could be possible.

[YTM021807]

The background music is obviously entirely good but maybe the "Lacrimosa" of Verdi's own Requiem would have been also good and "uncontroversial". Mozart would surely must have wanted to be in this memento. The two towering Requiems remembered in this clip!!

[Naaaaaaaz]

what's the fullname of verdi?

[mauroangelucci]

[Naaaaaaaz]

[SteveAndrewLangford]

@Naaaaaaaz Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi

[laurion69]

Interessantissimo documento.

Però, metti il Requiem di Verdi anziché quello di Mozart..

[siciuot]

cause this is a requiem.

[ReignOfPraine]

Why are they playing Mozarts requiem?

[foerster]

@ReignOfPraine Because in "5 mediaset" television there are a lot of ingonrants... like the boss of that broadcasting.

[violinlurrve]

@ReignOfPraine didn't verdi write a requiem too?

[feniciacia]
