War Requiem Op. 66
Album by Benjamin Britten & Christine Brewer & Anthony Dean Griffey & Gerald Finley & London Philharmonic Choir & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Kurt Masur
War Requiem, Op. 66 is a large-scale choral and orchestral composition by English composer Benjamin Britten, first performed in 1962. It blends elements of the Latin Requiem Mass with English war poetry, juxtaposing expansive choral and orchestral forces with more intimate solo and chamber textures, and it occupies a central place in Britten's late output as a work that addresses themes of war and remembrance.
