Das Berliner Requiem
Album by Kurt Weill & Paul Hindemith & Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Darius Milhaud & I Solisti & Vlaams Radiokoor & Paul Hillier
Das Berliner Requiem is a cantata by German composer Kurt Weill, composed in 1928. The work blends cabaret-influenced melodies, terse orchestral writing and choral declamation into a concise vocal-chamber piece that reflects Weill's engagement with Berlin's urban and social milieu between his earlier cabaret output and his later theatrical works.
