Benjamin Britten: War Requiem
Album by Benjamin Britten & Radio Filharmonisch Orkest & Jaap van Zweden
War Requiem is a large-scale choral and orchestral work by English composer Benjamin Britten, first performed in 1962. The composition interweaves the Latin Requiem mass with First World War poetry to create sombre, contrasting textures that range from massive choral and orchestral forces to intimate solo and chamber passages, and it occupies a pivotal place in Britten's post-war output and in mid-20th-century classical music.
First released: 28th May 2012
