| |  | Britten: War Requiem, Op. 66Recorded 1963, 90 min., B&W
Phyllis Curtin (soprano), Nicholas Di Virgilio (tenor), Tom Krause (baritone) Boston Symphony Orchestra, Erich Leinsdorf An outspoken pacifist, composer Britten combined texts from the Latin Mass for the Dead with the sharply poignant writings of the World War I poet Wilfrid Owen to create one of the most gripping works of the modern classical repertoire. This video presents the historic 1963 American premiere of the War Requiem, as performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of its Music Director, Erich Leinsdorf. The soloists are Phyllis Curtin, soprano; Nicholas Di Virgilio, tenor; and Tom Krause, baritone. The DVD boasts a magnificent stereo soundtrack drawn from the Boston Symphony archives. A relative once told me
of being in Israel for the national premiere of Britten’s War Requiem. There was a hush at the end, nobody seeming quite sure how to react to such an original, startling work. Then, as they say, the roof came off. Some of that same sense of amazement can be felt
in this thrilling film of its US debut. It doesn’t hurt that the performance itself is electrifying. - Gramophone Magazine | | | VAI - DVDVAI4429 (DVD Video) Normally: £24.99 (£21.27 ex. VAT) Special: £21.24 (£18.08 ex. VAT) |
