Benjamin Britten: War Requiem
When Coventry Cathedral, destroyed by bombings in World War II, was reconsecrated in 1962, the composer of the opening concert, Benjamin Britten, was given free rein. A committed pacifist, he created his most significant and impactful concert work, dedicating it to the victims of the world wars. The 90-minute Requiem for choir, soloists, and a massive orchestra echoes with grief, loss, and solace.
