Kinderchor ist schlecht

The orchestra and adult choir brought back memories of hearing the composer conduct the premier of this work with the London Symphony, Bach Choir and Highgate School Boy's Choir (UK) in the 1960s. We felt this U.S. group was rather good--- only regret the use of this particular children's choir which negated the effect of a boy's choir which Britten specifically desired and used in Britain and other areas of Europe.

I sang this in the early 1960s with the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus. I believe it was the second performance in the United States. I tear up when I hear it to this day. The Wilfred Owen poems are wonderful--would that the world knew them and lived by them.

Es impactante escuchar y ver esta magna obra de Benjamín Britten, sobre todo en un año tan especial, en que se conmemora la Primera Guerra Mundial. Todos habremos perdido a alguien en esa o en la Segunda. Terribles tiempos de la Historia, que algunos artistas, como Britten, han grabado para siempre en música llena de sentimientos y evocaciones. Gran pieza que, posiblemente, tiene reminiscencias del fantástico Requiem de Verdi.
