A requiem mass for a concert hall?

From the very beginning, Johannes Brahms' most extensive composition was never intended for liturgical use, but for the concert hall. A German Requiem occupies an exceptional position in the composer's oeuvre and in the history of the genre. His own choice of text instead of a traditional liturgical canon, German instead of Latin, Protestant instead of Catholic in character, and offering consolation instead of mourning. A true hymn to humanity!



The concert will be recorded by radio 100,7 and broadcast live and on 23.04.2025.
