Es gehört zu den eindrücklichsten Vokalwerken des 20. Jahrhunderts: Benjamin Brittens »War Requiem«, das der Komponist für die Einweihung des Neubaus der im 2. Weltkrieg stark zerstörten Kathedrale von Coventry schrieb. Für diesen Anlass schwebte dem überzeugten Pazifisten Britten keine gewöhnliche Totenmesse vor, sondern vielmehr ein musikalisches Mahnmal gegen den Schrecken des Kriegs. Dazu verwob er den lateinischen Messtext mit Gedichten von Wilfred Owen, der im 1. Weltkrieg auf einem französischen Schlachtfeld gefallen war, zuvor aber seine traumatischen Erlebnisse in poetischer Form verarbeitet hatte.
Am Pult der Staatskapelle steht Antonio Pappano, Chefdirigent des Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London; in den Vokalpartien sind Anna Nechaeva, Ian Bostridge, Matthias Goerne und der Staatsopernchor zu erleben.

Deutsch

It is one of the most impressive vocal works of the 20th century: Benjamin Britten's »War Requiem«, which the composer wrote for the inauguration of the new building of Coventry Cathedral, which was severely damaged in World War II. For this occasion, the convinced pacifist Britten did not have an ordinary funeral mass in mind, but rather a musical memorial against the horrors of war. To do this, he interwoven the Latin text of the mass with poems by Wilfred Owen, who died on a French battlefield in World War I but had previously worked through his traumatic experiences in poetic form.
Antonio Pappano, chief conductor of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, will conduct the Staatskapelle; Anna Nechaeva, Ian Bostridge, Matthias Goerne and the Staatsopernchor can be heard in the vocal parts.
