Ein Deutsches Requiem

Album by Johannes Brahms & Camilla Tilling & Detlef Roth & Rundfunkchor Berlin & Rundfunk‐Sinfonieorchester Berlin & Marek Janowski

Ein deutsches Requiem is a large-scale choral composition by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1868. Scored for chorus, soloists and orchestra and set to German scriptural texts, it uses Romantic harmonic language, lyrical solo lines and expansive choral and orchestral textures to convey a consolatory, non-liturgical approach to the requiem genre, and it represents Brahms's largest-scale choral work and an important contribution to nineteenth-century sacred music.
First released: 1st September 2010
