Conflict and resolution: The CBSO perform Britten's
War Requiem
at St Paul's Cathedral for CoLF
Julia Savage, 1st July
The newly built and unconventionally imposing Coventry Cathedral, built next to the ruins of the original medieval building destroyed in the Second World War, played host to the first performance of Britten’s War Requiem in 1962.
