A German Requiem, op. 45

Album by Johannes Brahms & Symfonický orchester Slovenského rozhlasu & Ali Rahbari

A German Requiem, Op. 45 is a large-scale sacred choral composition by Johannes Brahms, completed and first performed in 1868. Scored for chorus, soloists and orchestra and set to selected German biblical texts rather than the traditional Latin liturgy, the work emphasises consolation and humanity and marks a significant point in Brahms's career and in 19th-century choral music.
First released: December 1992
