In celebration of Benjamin Britten’s 100th birth anniversary in 2013, the SSO presents War Requiem, a large-scale 20th century masterpiece that requires two orchestras, two choirs and three soloists. The work includes a setting of nine poems by anti-war poet Wilfred Owen. An instant success, the work was written for the reconsecration of Coventry Cathedral after the 14th century original was destroyed during the Second World War. REVIEWS Chang Tou Liang . PIANOMANIA |
