Giulio Prandi and the coro e orchestra Ghislieri present a recording devoted to Niccol� Jommelli's 'Requiem'. Composed in 1756 for the solemn obsequies of the Duke of Wurttemberg's mother, it became the most popular Requiem setting in Europe until Mozart's, written in 1791. Jommelli's work, which is bound to surprise even the most seasoned enthusiast of this repertory, is dominated by a luminous intimacy that does not rely on fearsome and spectacular effects, but concentrates on vocal beauty and subtle musical narration.
