Ein deutsches Requiem, Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). Written in memory of the composer's mother, 'Ein deutsches Requiem' is a tribute to the Germanic language in the purest Lutheran tradition, even if Brahms himself emphasised its universal significance: German, of course, but above all human, seeking to console those afflicted by grief. Heinrich Schutz Kantorei (Freiburg/Brisgau). Director: Cornelius Leenen. Felcitas Frische, soprano, Johannes Wedeking, bass, Daniel Roos and Philip Rivinius, pianos and Philip Becker, timpani.
