<p>But wait, that was composed in the worrisome period you are talking about, wasn’t it?!..The Verdi Requiem is completely out of this world. I have the Faure in my head because my S sang the baritone solo when he was just 15–he can’t stand to hear it, as his voice is completely different now. I love it, of course. I’ll go listen to Verdi’s. (Any favorite recording–not w/Bocelli…?) It’ll get me psyched to shovel some snow.</p>
