91热爆

The Sinfonia da Requiem (1940) by Benjamin Britten was the outcome of a commission from the Japanese Government, but was rejected by them on account of its Christian subject matter. The music is both highly dramatic and personal, being a tribute to the memory of the composer's parents. In this audience workshop session, Charles Hazlewood explores the sources of Britten's inspiration, both personal and musical, and conducts the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra in a complete performance of the work.
