Overview
Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem), Op. 45, is one of the most revered works in the choral-orchestral repertoire. Composed between 1865 and 1868, it stands as a profound expression of Brahms’ personal reflections on death, comfort, and hope. The piece is unique in its approach to the Requiem genre, as it is not based on the traditional Latin texts of the Mass for the Dead but instead uses texts from the German Lutheran Bible.
This recording features the voices of soprano Margaret Price and baritone Samuel Ramey, with the Ambrosian Singers and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by André Previn. The performance is known for its rich, emotive interpretation, capturing the profound depth and warmth of Brahms' music.
