Britten鈥檚 War Requiem from the Proms
Music by Debussy inspired by the events of the First World War plus Britten鈥檚 War Requiem with the London Symphony Orchestra and Antonio Pappano from the Proms.
Today鈥檚 Classical Live, introduced by Linton Stephens, adopts a serious and reflective tone with two contrasting works inspired by the events of the First World War. A late suite for two pianos by Debussy prefaces a performance of Britten鈥檚 War Requiem given by the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and a formidable line-up of soloists under Sir Antonio Pappano, recorded last week at the 麻豆社 Proms.
