Verdi's Almighty Requiem and 'The Day of Wrath'

Above: The great American conductor Robert Trevino conducting The Malmo Symphony

Orchestra in a performance of Verdi's Requiem. It's often described as a sombre piece

of music, that is until we hear 'Dies Irae' when things soon liven up, as in the clip above.

What I like about conductor Robert Trevino is his passion and aggression. He seems to

have taken over where the great Riccardo Muti left off, with his passionate and similar

dramatic style. But then Muti is now 84.

Trevino who has a full busy diary this Summer was recently announced as the new

Principle Conductor for Romania's premier Orchestra The George Enescu

Philharmonic Orchestra for the 2026/27 Season.
