£139.99I Vespri Siciliani - Giuseppe Verdi
In 1854, Verdi was in Paris to compose I vespri siciliani (1855), a commission from the Theatre of the Opera. The composer soon became intolerant to the requests of the French "Grand Opra" as he considered them too restrictive and cunning. "I'll be very happy when I have finished I vespri siciliani. An opera at the Opra is as tiring as killing a bull. Five hours of music?...Hauf!" Verdi declared. Following the first performance, the French composer Hector Berlioz wrote in the "Journal des Dbats" an article that read "We have to admit that in I vespri siciliani, the penetrating intensity of the melodic expression, the sumptuous variety of theinstrumentation, the fullness, the poetical sonority of the whole, the warm vivacity that shines everywhere and the passionate strength, although slow in disclosing (a characteristic feature of Verdi's talent), give the entire work a mark of greatness, a sort of majestic sovereignty more underlined than in Verdi's previous theatre productions."

£84.99Song of David
This work is based on the 13th Century Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) attributed to Thomas von Celano. Many famous composers have already employed this originally Gregorian chant in their works, including Berlioz, Saint-Sans, Mahler and Lizst. In Jan de Haan's Song of David - the title of which is taken from the third line of the Dies Irae text - the theme is presented in unison initially and then reappears in various guises.
