Free Music Notes for Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem
Free Music Review: Brahm's German Requiem
Hit: 4 Stars
Brahm's German Requiem doesn't follow Mozart's or Verdi's Catholic Requiem Mass tradition. It doesn't have a Dies Irae. Although perhaps the 2nd movement, 'For all flesh is as grass', is a kind of Dies Irae - with its haunting melody, and its existentialist truth is conveyed in both the music and words. I think that the 2nd movement was my favourite out of the whole Requiem. I think that Simon Rattle's interpretation, the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Rundfunkchor of Berlin, and the soloists, Thomas Quasthoff and Dorothea Roschmann all give a very good performance of this Requiem.
Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem Poster
This is a big, monolithic performance of this somewhat monolithic work, but it doesn't sound impenetrable as it occasionally can. The second movement is as gigantic as any might want, but there's great spring in its last few minutes; elsewhere, Sir Simon Rattle leads with a clarity and energy that are decidedly not lament-like. The 4th movement, "Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen," seems to sway under Rattle's baton; it appears as a light interlude. There is great warmth in the "Ich habt nun Traurigkeit" movement and all pomp seems to die away. The fugal moments are crystal clear, even with the large orchestra and chorus (this is clearly not a "period" instrument performance), and both soloists--baritone Thomas Quasthoff and Dorothea R?schmann--sing their music with close attention to the text. The Berlin Philharmonic and Rundfunkchor are superb. This is a beautiful reading of a work that can be forbidding - highly recommended. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
