Britten: War Requiem (World Premiere) - Harper, Pears, Fischer-Dieskau; Britten. Coventry, 1962
$9.95
Description:
This recording captures the world premiere of one of the most significant choral-orchestral works of the 20th century: War Requiem by Benjamin Britten. Peter Pears and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, subtly embodying the English and German perspectives of World War II, offer deeply moving interpretations of Wilfred Owen’s poetry. Heather Harper is radiant in the soprano solos—an especially remarkable achievement considering she was sight-reading the part due to Galina Vishnevskaya’s last-minute visa complications.
