“One of the most celebrated commercial recordings ever made, this matchlessly authentic performance
should be in every collection.” — Gramophone
On 10th January 1963 sessions were completed at London’s Kingsway Hall for this world premiere
recording of Britten’s War Requiem. Sixty years later, Decca have made new high definition 24-bit/192
kHz transfers of the original quarter-inch stereo mastertapes at British Grove Studios. Conducted by
the composer and featuring the three soloists for whom it was written, this still remains, for many, the
definitive recording.
The vinyl is cut to lacquer at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios, and this is the first LP release of the
secret recording of Britten’s rehearsals for the War Requiem since the sole pressing gifted by Decca to
Britten on his 50th birthday in November 1963.
The truly expansive booklet includes excerpts from John Culshaw’s autobiography Putting the Record
Straight; reminiscences from three of the original 1963 Decca recording crew; technical notes; detailed
essays on the War Requiem and the recording sessions; and rare and new photographs.
