NEW DVD OF CHORUS PRO MUSICA IN WAR REQUIEM
On July 27, 1963 at Tanglewood, Chorus pro Musica sang the US premiere of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem
with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Erich Leinsdorf. A DVD of that performance has just been released by
Video Artists International, part of a series of BSO telecasts from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The DVD is reviewed in the March 9 Boston Globe
by David Perkins. Perkins says, “Alfred Nash Patterson’s Chorus pro Musica is well coached and charged up.”
His conclusion: “For years, Britten’s own 1963 Decca recording was the only one on the market. Others have followed, but none, not even Britten’s, is superior to this.”
There is a clip of this concert on YouTube.
