About

This release commemorates the life of the English composer Benjamin Britten, who would have celebrated his 100th birthdayin 2013. Britten, who in May 1942 refused to fight in World War II, began working in 1960 on a "War Requiem".

In March 2013, during the performances by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Mariss Jansons, the work delivered its shattering impact once again – due not only to the Tölz Boys' Choir but also to an outstanding trio of soloists.
