Hear Seiji Ozawa perform one of his signature works with one of the world’s best orchestras, as named by classical-music tastemaker Gramophone. Britten completed his mammoth statement against war in 1962 to consecrate the new Coventry Cathedral, and in it he intersperses Latin texts from the Mass for the Dead with shocking depictions of battle by Wilfred Owen, a British poet who served in World War I.

On this concert, the Carnegie Hall Festival Chorus and the National High School Festival Chorus team up with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and Robert Spano for an 1837 work—Berlioz wrote it to commemorate the 1830 revolution in France—that not only astounds with its choral writing, but also with its enhanced orchestral forces.

Founded in 1990 in Japan, Bach Collegium Japan’s reputation for great Baroque performances is worldwide. “The fleet Bach Collegium emphasizes beauty and a flowing line,” says The Times of London, and their founder has a “subtle ear for color, a keen sense of harmonic direction, and an ability to make phrases breathe and rhythms live” (The New York Times).
