Brahms’s Requiem, completed in 1868, draws on the legacy of his forerunners, Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach. In setting texts from the German Bible, it deliberately departs from the models of the Catholic liturgy and imposes a sorrowing yet consolatory meditation on death and the Last Judgment, in the manner of a poignant and grandiose cradle song for the dead. Recorded in Berwaldhallen, Stockholm, 2018, by Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Swedish Radio Choir, Daniel Harding and world class soloists!
