Lux Aeterna: Abbado alla Scala at Work on Verdi's Missa da Requiem

Montserrat Caballé, Cecilia Casdía, Peter Dvorsky, Lucia Valentini-Terrani, Chris Merritt and Samuel Ramey
Claudio Abbado

Norbert Beilharz's film looks at this masterwork of 19th century liturgical music through 20th century eyes, presenting the entire work, not as the usual televised concert, but rather as a film collage, concentrating on three locations: St. Mark's Church in Milan, the rehearsal rooms and the stage of La Scala.
