A historical interpretation of Verdi's score which was born on the wave of emotion for the death of Alessandro Manzoni and was performed for the first time by the composer himself on 22 May 1874 in the Basilica of San Marco in Milan. A Requiem imbued with a strong dramatic charge, which reflects the main line of Verdi's theater: a grandiose meditation on the mystery of death, which, despite the sign of rebellion against divine will, restores dignity and consolation to man.

This production was recorded on film in 1967 at the Teatro alla Scala under the conduction of Karajan. Among the protagonists is a very young Luciano Pavarotti, alongside three other top performers such as Leontyne Price, Fiorenza Cossotto and Nicolai Ghiaurov. The production, with orchestra and choir of the Teatro alla Scala, was made to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the death of Arturo Toscanini and was followed by a triumphal tour in Moscow, Montreal and New York.
