Composer Guiseppe Verdi.

In the grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral, Leonard Bernstein conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Verdi's Requiem that marks Placido Domingo's first appearance with the Maestro. In an introductory note, Mr. Bernstein dedicates this performance to victims of war and oppression: "Let us remember them all and meditate on our own salvation, here on earth."
