From the Royal Albert Hall , London.
"My subject is war and the pity of war." Wilfred Owen 's words haunt Britten's powerful War Requiem and are interposed with the traditional texts of the requiem mass to eloquent and moving effect. Britten's synthesis of individual human drama and timeless ritual is wholly original.
