Brahms - A German Requiem, Op. 45

Over Brahms - A German Requiem, Op. 45

In this concert recorded in November 2016 at the magnificent Baroque basilica of Saint Florian, Austria - once the home of Anton Bruckner - the Wiener Singverein, the Cleveland Orchestra and its principal conductor Franz Welser-Most pare down all traces of bombast wherever emotions could easily run out of control. Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, Op. 45, reaches out to comfort the living through religious texts not traditionally associated with the Requiem Mass. The result is a work of great intensity that speaks to people of all faiths, believers and non-believers alike. The program's two soloists - Hanna-Elisabeth Muller and Simon Keenlyside - are already at home on the world's stages. While the former has carved a career for herself not only as an opera singer but also as a concert artist, the London-born Keenlyside has been building his impressive career around the prestigious guest appearances he has made during the past ten years.
