War Requiem Britten

Twenty-two years after Coventry Cathedral was destroyed in a World War II air raid, Benjamin Britten wrote his War Requiem to celebrate the consecration of a new cathedral built amid the ruins of the first one. With contrasting texts from the Latin Requiem mass and WWI poet Wilfred Owen, the music embodies Britten’s deeply held pacifist beliefs. Conductor Philippe Jordan leads the SF Symphony, Chorus, and soloists in Britten’s haunting liturgy.
