Brahms' German Requiem: Théâtre des Champs‐Elysées

About the Event

With his 'German Requiem', Brahms achieved the rare combination of a work that is both monumental and deeply personal. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts the Balthasar‐Neumann‐Ensemble and Choir with Katharina Konradi and Matthias Goerne as soloists.

Brahms started working on the composition of his German Requiem when he was only 30 years old. He composed a masterwork that has no equal in the history of German music, a work of art in the form of funeral music that shakes the tradition of the Requiem.
