RTÉ LYRIC LIVE WITH PAUL HERRIOTT

Broadcast Details: Friday 22nd November, 7.00pm

Former NSO Principal Conductor Gerhard Markson returns to conclude the NSO's centenary commemorations of Dublin-born Charles Villiers Stanford's death with one of his crowning glories, the monumental and moving Requiem.

Admired by Verdi and cast on the grandest of scales, it is a heartfelt and tender work of involving intimacy and blazing faith in which Stanford’s mastery of drama, opera, song and orchestration come triumphantly together.
