Requiem für einen jungen Dichter

Album by Bernd Alois Zimmermann & SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden‐Baden und Freiburg & Michael Gielen

Requiem für einen jungen Dichter is a large-scale requiem composition by German composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann, composed between 1969 and 1970. The work combines orchestra, choir, soloists and extensive taped material in a collage-like, pluralistic language that juxtaposes serial techniques, jazz and liturgical references and stands as a late-career culmination of Zimmermann's concept of spherical time in musical history.
First released: 1995
