Britten: War Requiem mit John Eliot Gardiner | SHMF 1992 | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester

John Eliot Gardiner conducts Benjamin Britten's War Requiem at the SHMF final concert in Lübeck in 1992. The War Requiem premiered on May 30, 1962 in the rebuilt Coventry Cathedral. The cathedral was largely destroyed during the German bombing of the city of Coventry during World War II. In his almost 90-minute piece, Britten set the Latin text of the fair Missa pro Defunctis to music with poems by the British poet and soldier Wilfred Owen.
