Thanks for uploading this. Britten's War Requiem is one of my favourite classical music compositions, and this documentary contained fascinating information.

Thanks for this document, a powerfully beautiful one, Especially good are the bits of live performance featuring Britten and Pears.

A awsome réquiem. I always cry when l listen to it. My parents never have known their fathers, both dead, Terrible War. I never knew my grand father's.

@ILiveOnMyBoat. Britten returned to England because he had love of (his) country, as opposed to American-like patriotism. He didn't take to the "American way of life", was homesick and decided to have his ongoing first opera PETER GRIMES performed in England. He refused to enlist in the armed services and received virulent criticism for it, it being hinted that his pacificism was sheer treachery to his country in a time of need. All of this is explained in both dvds available now.
