Andrew Lloyd Webber - Requiem / Domingo, Brightman, ECO, Maazel

CD Details

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem is a dramatic religious composition that takes creative liberties with the traditional Requiem mass text while maintaining a unified and carefully constructed musical form. Before his prolific Broadway career, Webber crafted this work that blends operatic and orchestral traditions, featuring powerful moments in sections like the “Dies irae” and “Lacrymosa” where voices and orchestra work together to express both desperation and hope. The piece includes the memorable “Pie Jesu,” a melody that became one of Webber’s most enduring compositions.

This CD features the English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Lorin Maazel, with soloists including Placido Domingo and Sarah Brightman, released on the Decca label. A used copy of this classical recording offers you the chance to experience Webber’s complete Requiem at a fraction of retail cost.
