Britten War Requiem Rostropovich Dies Irae opening Terfel

[curiousted]

Brahms . . . pfft. This is on the same level as Verdi! Fantastic performance.

[AdamStockbridge]

What a voice!

[FaceArts]

Powerful... love the beginning odd time, 7/4 

[tasteism]

And this Britten had the guts to say Brahm's music is bad?! Brahms composed music, this is noise.

[Takhilin]

@tasteism And you have bad taste. :)

[SuperElephant111]

2:52 trumpet fail haha

[234helenrose]

We sang this at Fredonia State.  A transcendent experience.

[DenisowDRM]

Мне эту вещь придётся продерижировать на экзамене.

[mckavitt]

Ofcourse it is Rostropovich conducting the performance.

[mtenor]

god he is ugly(bryn)

[Herkersdorfer1]

That's right. This guy is not Rostropovich!!!

[kamanetzki]

@kamanetzki

I apologise. You're quite right. I hadn't got to the end of the clip. It is Hickox.

[kamanetzki]

@Herkersdorfer1

You're right. It's Hickox.

[jdahlen24]

Herkersdorfer1, you need a new pair of glasses, my friend. That is indeed Rostropovich conducting the main orchestra, with Richard Hickox conducting the Chamber Orch.

[simondaviddrew]

It looks like Richard Hickox conducting at 5:16

[schnozz87]

I'm pretty sure it is. Rostropovich conducted the full orchestra and chorus, and Hickox conducted the chamber orchestra and male solists it seems.

[redsox2213]

i didnt know ZZTop played the trumpet too!

[davehuntriss]

@redsox2213 Hahaha I thought the exact same thing.

[mortalfrog0815]

@redsox2213 that's not ZZTop, that's charles darwin!

[beckerpwnsyou]

interesting. it's an english text I guess.

[Boerenfox]

No, it is the usual Latin Mass but with poems by Wifred Owen in between some parts.

[bkmustang07]
