[elicandondo]

[claree2]

Its beautiful, but it still scares the crap out of me.

[unclefungus13]

I enjoyed the depth of the work set against a collage that did not point fingers.

You have opened a door of understanding for me. Thank You for your labor.

[MsRickNet]

tnx for posting this song!

[luseem16]

Very moving indeed. Almost overwhelmingly so.

[peacholympia]

I have heard this piece countless times, and yet every time I hear it, I am stunned. What an experience. Thanks so much for the upload, with the pictures- they are a wonderful visual complement to Britten's eternally evocative music.

[jessiiiLouiseClark]

thanks for uploading this :) gotta do it for A-levels XD this is coming in usefull for translations as well cheers!

[Schaduwmeisje93]

A sang this a few years a go, conducted by Jaap van Zweden. Beautiful and very impressive!

[Doido1989]

O War Requiem, de Britten, é, sem sombra de dúvidas, uma das obras-primas da música erudita no séc. XX. E Galina Vishnevskaya, uma das maiores sopranos que esse mundo triste e trágico teve o prazer de conhecer.

[FrootLoopKicker]

Thank you for these videos! I just performed this work this evening, and you've done a great job setting the images to this piece.

I hope you do the rest of Requiem!

[ANTOONMAKA]

Une musique superbe sur des images toutes autant (Vimy, le mémorial je crois???")

[janecz]

FANTÁSTICA música e imagens perturbadoras!

Thanks!

I was a student of Literature and History in college when this work was first recorded. I sang in a concert choir that did major works and was completely swept away by this epic piece. The layers of meaning and the complexity of mutually supporting musical and literary images was/is astounding. I sometimes think it was the last great work coming from the world of writers like Eliot and Pound. You did good. Perfect visuals. No '68 mentality and anti Vietnam crap. Precise and fine. Bravo.

[FiDiTanzer528]

Thank you. I hope I did some justice to this great work. A labor of love!

[dragmio]

@KatherineHelen69 You sure do express Neanderthal mentality and no brain crap...

[r51collins]

@KatherineHelen69 Pound, fascist sympathiser, Eliot at best conservative right winger. By the way I demonstrated against the Vietnam war in '68. Regardless this is truly wonderful.

I did this at UNT my freshmen year it was awesome experience and incredibly difficult piece trying to synchronize the different time signatures from the chorus and orchestra was hard

[tolitz11]

again, you create a "magnum opus" here

the images are disturbing, sad, and stricking

i hope that you can make other videos for other segments

to complete the entire war requiem, because you really made a marvelous job.

thank you karen

[FiDiTanzer528]

Thanks again! This was a labor of love but emotionally draining to complete. I'm not sure about doing the entire requiem though.

[riago7]

Beautiful ... and disturbing.

[ANTOONMAKA]

Et bien c'est bien qu'elles nous dérangents ces images... L'artois est plein de sites encore interdits au pibluc "danger explosifs" et que dire d'Ypres ...60.000 Hommes sans sépultures et qu'on retrouvre anonyme au cours de travaux de génie civil.... Quel tuerie abjecte!

[imusiciki]

The cries of Libera me filled with thunderous energy along with the terror images of the war just makes this one powerful experience. Excellent video.

[FiDiTanzer528]

Thank you so much. This movement always gives me a chill, especially at that climactic chord.

[LadyTenor987]

I cannot say enough how very grateful I am to you for posting these excerpts from Benjamin Britten's "War Requiem."

The images you have selected to underlie the music and texts are evocative and what Wilfred Owen would have wanted.

I only wish our choir had the skill and numbers to sing the choral portions of this piece.

Thank you again.

[FiDiTanzer528]

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, how wonderful it would be to be able to participate in a performance of this great work.

[megansspark]

powerful, and fills one with awe... well done Karen
