“Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.â€
Brahms’s enduring masterpiece has been a rewarding choral feast for audiences since it premiered in 1868. Inspired by the death of his mother, Brahms’s tender requiem welcomes you with an imaginative warmth and a rich vocal tapestry before storming into a dramatic journey of grief and acceptance.
This February, amid the baroque splendour of St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers and guest conductor Krista Audere are joined by pianists Libby Burgess and Caroline Jaya-Ratnam to perform A German Requiem, with all the choral ardour and drama it deserves.
