The Requiem was performed for the first time on 22 May 1874. Many of Verdi’s best-known contemporaries expressed great musical admiration for the work, with Brahms declaring its composer a genius. Julian Budden, one of the most noteworthy Verdi scholars, wrote that the Requiem shows the composer’s brilliance in its most concentrated form: it was into this work that Verdi “poured all the purely musical resources that he had developed in the course of 26 operas, and which he could here exploit to the full without having to take into account the special demands which a stage action inevitably imposes.
