Title: Donizetti's Requiem

Actually there's more than one and I'll confirm which I have later: after one listen it sounds a bit thin and formulaic, a little disappointing after the rich invention of many in the operas.

This requiem is the 1835 for Bellini, seemingly not first performed until 1870.
