Benjamin Britten - Benjamin Britten: War Requiem
On January 10, 1963, recording sessions for this world premiere recording of Britten's 'War Requiem' were completed in London. In 2023, sixty years later, Decca has made new high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz transfers of the original quarter-inch stereo master tapes at British Grove Studios for the best possible sound quality. Conducted by the composer and featuring the three soloists (Galina Vishnevskaya, Peter Pears, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau) for whom the work was written, this still remains for many the reference recording par excellence. The truly comprehensive companion book includes excerpts from John Culshaw's autobiography, 'Putting the Record Straight,' recollections from three members of the original 1963 Decca recording team, technical notes, extensive essays on the 'War Requiem' and the recording sessions, and rare, never-before-seen photographs.
