Welp, with the 100th Anniversary of the end of the first World War, here's probably the greatest bit of music to ever commemorate the cataclysm:
That said, the work is dedicated to friends of his who died in World War 2 (and one who was permanently changed on the beaches of Normandy) first performed to reconsecrate a cathedral that got bombed in the blitz, and its initial recording was released to a remarkably high level of mainstream popularity (200,000 copies sold in the first five months, virtually unheard of for a modern classical work) on the eve of the Vietnam War (which may be intruding a Yank-centric perspective on a British work), but the Wilfred Owen poetry gives it a big WW1 perspective.
I feel like I should be doing an review of the Derek Jarman music video/film for the original recording to commemorate the centenary of the armistice, but I can't actually find a streaming copy.
