Mahler 9
More details
In 1940, Benjamin Britten was commissioned to compose a piece by the Japanese Government, to mark the 2600th Anniversary Celebrations of the Japanese Empire. The result was the Requiem. Japan was not pleased with this piece – in fact, they were insulted by its Christian theme and mournful tone. It was not included in the celebration. This work is Britten’s first major purely orchestral work.
