Brahms German Requiem
Brahms German Requiem
Brahms Ein deutsches Requiem, Op. 45
Fflur Wyn soprano
James Atkinson baritone
Crouch End Festival Chorus
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
In 1857, grieving his late mother, Johannes Brahms began work on his choral masterpiece Ein deutsches Requiem. Brahms’s colleague Schumann believed Brahms would deliver ‘wonderful glimpses of the spirit world’. Brahms obliged with a Requiem unlike any other: a piece that carries the gift of spiritual comfort rather than the threat of impending judgment – a glowing message of brotherhood and consolation, a work of its time and place but with universal resonance. Two outstanding soloists and the Crouch End Festival Chorus join the orchestra and Music Director Marios Papadopoulos for Brahms’s consolatory masterpiece.
Please note: This concert will have no interval.
