One such performance appears in this classical release: a benefit concert mounted at St. Mark's basilica in Venice, Italy. Conductor Lorin Maazel - originally a child prodigy who met Toscanini in New York City at age 11 - mounted a 2007 tribute tour titled 'In the Footsteps of Toscanini'; this culminated in two concerts in Venice featuring interpretations of Verdi's Requiem. Contributors include soprano Norma Fantini, mezzo-soprano Anna Smirnova, tenor Francesco Meli and bass vocalist Rafal Siwek. The Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino lends musical accompaniment with Piero Monti serving as chorus master. Maazel conducts.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44348653273375,"sku":"880242724342","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/products\/b1120901a389aded3dc108bf83d2fda6.jpg?v=1679029941","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/verdi-messa-da-requiem-video-4","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
