Britten War Requiem

イベント情報

Composed for the newly re‐built Coventry Cathedral, Britten’s War Requiem sets the traditional Latin text alongside some of Wilfred Owen’s poignant war poetry, including, unforgettably, his unfinished Let Us Sleep Now. The score is an intensely moving testament to Britten’s lifelong pacifism, expressing both the pity and the horror of war. This performance will be held in remembrance of the sixtieth anniversary of the end of World War II (on the date of Britten’s birthday).
