Johannes Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem stands as one of choral music’s most consoling and uplifting testaments. Brahms was moved to compile the text for this “human requiem,” soon after the death of his own mother. This intimate and personal expression comes to light as Musica Sacra performs it in Brahms’s own version for accompaniment of four-hand piano. Expertly conceived, this version brings out the sparkling clarity and brilliance of Brahms’s writing for the chorus. The winner of the Sorel Foundation Collaborative Piano Competition makes their debut with this performance.
