About
The last recording of conductor Lorin Maazel
World-famous conductor Lorin Maazel was chief conductor of the Münchner Philharmoniker until shortly before his death in July 2014 at the age of 84.
This live recording, which happened in February 2014, is probably the last recording of Maazel. It documents an acclaimed and moving concert in the Munich Philharmonie with Lorin Maazel and the Münchner Philharmoniker and their choir per-forming Verdi’s famous requiem. The excellent soloists were Anja Harteros (soprano), Daniela Barcellona (mezzo-soprano), Wookyung Kim (tenor) and Georg Zeppenfeld (bass).

[Maazel] has found a happy golden mean of pace and colour...The solo quartet settle down into a solid, fluent team. Harteros and Barcellona are almost old hands at recording this work now...This new interpretation is not going to annihilate competition...but it's a finely worked ave atque vale from its chief.
