Sixty years after its premiere at the consecration of Coventry’s new Cathedral in 1962, Britten’s War Requiem is still powerful, using music and words to explore the futility of war and memorialise its victims.

Britten was a pacifist and conscientious objector during World War II, and he used poetry written by Wilfred Owen during the First World War alongside the words of the traditional Latin Mass for the Dead to create his Requiem. Sung in this performance by soloists from Russia, Britain and Germany, as Britten intended for the premiere, the War Requiem serves as an important reminder of the power that music has to transform, transcend and heal.
