Britten War Requiem Rostropovich Requiem aeternam 

i sang this with 180singers in cologne and bonn, it was overwhelming, next to the mozart and verdi requiem my most favourite work!

ich hab das war reqiuem so oft im mädchenchor hannover gesungen, und ich liebe britten, werde ihn immer lieben. ich kann es noch immer auswendig!

So pleased to see this on here - it was a magical concert - one of my first with this fabulous choir - I even got a quick close up - couldn't ask for more than that !

I was blessed to do this requiem at Northern Arizona University nearly 3 years ago, and it takes an hour and a half to do it. lol. But it is the most thrilling feeling when you get to the finale and everyone has just gone on this journey with you. Amazing.

wow. I can't utter any more words.

@classicalsasha One of the few composers who can make a tritone sound like it wasn't a mistake!

increible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Moving!

Good video. Rostropovich does a good job with this one.

powerful!

reminds me the 1st mov. of Shostakovich's 5th

for our freedom-fighters, martyrs, heroes Freedom ... our Arab Spring 2011

Pourquoi oublier B. BRITTEN si souvent? c'est splendide! et avec Rostro Hummmm...

Great video, but why does it cut off just before the tenor solo? @iforgeti: can you post the rest of it, please? Many thanks!

supposedly Dmitri Shostakovich said this was the most important work of the XXth century.

@Stoopchow I sang it when i was 11, but not quite with these performers. it was with yale

What, where's the tenor singing Owen's poem!?!?!?

its little bit feeling of Verdi uin the first minute
