About this deal

Ed Sheeran tops Adele as Stormzy joins Sunday Times Rich List". BBC News. BBC. 9 May 2019 . Retrieved 9 May 2019. I am very interested in and very keen on the idea of writing an original musical expressly for the cinema, taking into account the differences between the world of the cinema and that of the theater -- which is rarely done when a theater piece is transformed to the cinema.

The first public performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem was recorded at St. Thomas’ Church in New York City on February 25, 1985. Placido Domingo (Tenor), Sarah Brightman (Soprano), and Paul Miles-Kingston (Treble) were supported with the combined choruses of Winchester Cathedral and St. Thomas’ Church together with the orchestra of St. Luke’s conducted by Lorin Maazel. In addition to the performance, there is footage of pre-performance preparation, and of Lloyd Webber taking his bow at this World Premiere. Requiem won a Grammy Award in 1986 for best classical composition, and Sarah Brightman was nominated for a Grammy Award as “best new classical artist.”

Although I don’t claim to be terribly familiar with the Requiem mass as a genre, the text has always intrigued me. It’s so theatrical. And I very much enjoy writing for the sound of the Latin language, which obviously has something in that it has endured as long as it has. I was also very interested to see whether or not I could make a requiem for an audience of today. An initial draft of Requiem was heard during the 1984 Sydmonton Festival, after which Lloyd Webber spent an additional half-year polishing the work. [1] The premiere took place on 24 February 1985 in St. Thomas Church, New York; [2] the conductor was Lorin Maazel, and the three soloists were Plácido Domingo, Sarah Brightman (Lloyd Webber's wife at the time), and Paul Miles-Kingston.

Although it is common in the English choral tradition to feature boy sopranos as soloists, they are not used quite in this way. The crucial thing here is that, ideally, the [female] soprano should also be much younger than one who would normally be used, to keep the suggestion that [the two singers] could be brother and sister. It works less well if you have a bigger, very full soprano voice. It needs the younger interplay between them, particularly in the "Pie Jesu." Yet it’s difficult to find a soprano with the ability to sing a note purely and totally straight; this is not something you often find in a soprano with conventional classical training. Obviously, I’m especially pleased with the way my wife, Sarah [Brightman], sings it. It was a new venture for Lloyd Webber, the composer of numerous musicals, to create a piece of traditional classical music. The music mixes Lloyd Webber's melodic and pop-oriented style with more complex, sophisticated, and at times even austere forms.
