4. Britten's War Requiem
This is an epic work at the best of times, but with the added context of a wartime theme to much of this year's Edinburgh Festival, this is sure to be a hugely charged performance. So let Sir Andrew Davis, tenor Toby Spence and the Philharmonia walk you through one of Britten's best-loved and most poignant works. Usher Hall August 14th
