Background: Following the release of his critically acclaimed recording of Madama Butterfly, Music Director Antonio Pappano returned to the Orchestra and Chorus of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in January 2009 for performances of Verdi's spectacular Requiem with stellar soloists. EMI Classics microphones were at hand to record the concerts.

Reviewing one of the performances, Hugh Canning wrote in The Sunday Times, "To hear Italians in this great music is nearly always a special treat. It is in their blood, and their native empathy, combined with the discipline of Pappano's American and northern European training, made for a gripping occasion, a performance of enthralling beauty and visceral thrills." Mya Tannenbaum of the Corriere della Sera said, "It was certainly an unforgettable emotional journey. … Pappano was more emotional than ever but controlled, a great master of contrasts and silences."
