CD: Britten War Requiem / Masur
BENJAMIN BRITTEN 1913-1976
War Requiem

Benjamin Britten's great artistic statement of pacifism is a modern classic: an unprecedented treatment of the Latin texts of the Requiem set alongside acerbic and often overtly contradictory verse by Wilfred Owen. Captured in a live performance on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, featuring singers Christine Brewer (soprano), Anthony Dean Griffey (tenor) and Gerald Finley (baritone) and conducted by known peace activist, the Orchestra's Principal Conductor Kurt Masur, this account of Britten's extraordinary masterpiece is indispensible.
