Time's Echo Live: Eine Erkundung von Musik, Krieg und Erinnerung, Teil 3
Words: Britten was one of the century’s greatest musical pacifists, the consummate insider who saw himself as an outsider, and a man (in Yehudi Menuhin’s description) who possessed “a profound sense of community with the suffering world.” Our third program recounts Britten’s zero hour of the soul — his extraordinary recital tour of Germany’s Displaced Person camps in July 1945 — and unlocks the secrets of his celebrated “War Requiem.”
Music: Britten, Chacony from String Quartet No. 2
