Britten - Cantata Misericordium Sinfonia Da Requiem
Review by Matt Stevens
Cantata Misericordium Sinfonia Da Requiem by Britten is a masterpiece that showcases the composer's exceptional talent and creativity. The album features two works that are both poignant and moving, displaying Britten's ability to convey complex emotions through music.
The first piece, Cantata Misericordium, is a choral work that tells the story of the Good Samaritan. The music is powerful and intense, with soaring vocals and dramatic orchestration that perfectly capture the emotion of the story.
The second piece, Sinfonia Da Requiem, is a symphony that is both haunting and beautiful. The music is melancholic and mournful, yet it also has moments of hope and optimism. Britten's use of the orchestra is masterful, with each instrument contributing to the overall mood of the piece.

About Britten
British composer, conductor, and pianist.
Born: November 22, 1913, in Lowestoft, UK - died: December 04, 1976, in Aldeburgh, UK.
He showed talent from an early age, and first came to public attention with the a cappella choral work A Boy Was Born in 1934. With the premiere of his opera Peter Grimes in 1945, he leapt to international fame. For the next fifteen years he devoted much of his compositional attention to writing operas, establishing him as one of the leading 20th century figures in this genre. Britten's interests as a composer were wide-ranging; he produced important music in such varied genres as orchestral, choral, solo vocal (much of it written for the tenor Peter Pears), chamber and instrumental, as well as film music. He also took a great interest in writing music for children and amateur performers, and was a fine pianist and conductor.
One of Britten's most important works, The War Requiem was completed 20 December 1961, and first performed 30 May 1962. Britten received many prizes and honors, including becoming a Companion of Honour in 1952, and a member of the Order of Merit in 1965.
