“We’re very pleased to announce that last autumn’s Britten War Requiem from the Barbican is to be issued on LSO Live in a few months’ time: the performance, under the baton of Gianandrea Noseda and featuring Ian Bostridge, Simon Keenlyside and Slovenian soprano Sabina Cvilak in the taxing solo roles, was lauded by The Telegraph’s Ivan Hewett for its ‘hugely impressive’ orchestral playing, ‘amazingly vivid’ choral singing and overall ‘emotional truth’. Due out as a double SACD set in late spring.”
