Free Music Review: Karajan's last German Requiem is the saddest and most staid
Hit: 5 Stars
Karajan produced one of the great documents in the postwar era when he recorded the German Requiem in the rubble of 1947 Vienna. That radiant spiritual account, with the incomparable Hans Hotter and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as soloists, should be the starting point for anyone exploring Brahms's greatest choral work. Karajan continued to feel an affinity for it and produced no less than three later versions in stereo, of which this digital account, also from Vienna, is the last -- in his end was his beginning.
It is solemn, at times staid, and full of power. If you identify late Karajan with glossy surfaces and glib interpretations (an ovr-generalization that made the great Carlos Kleiber, among others, bristle), never fear. Everything here is profound and touching. The recording is exceptionally fine -- the best of all his versions -- and Jose Van Dam is particularly strong in the baritone part, sounding deeply involved and dramatic. Barbara Hendricks produces an easy, honeyedlyricism in the Traurigkeit movement. I had overlooked this 1985 recording in my enthusiasm for the 1947 original, but it's touched by greatness in its own right.
Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem Op.45 Poster
What could be wrong with this disc--Brahms' beloved Requiem, interpreted by Herbert von Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic, sung by Jos? van Dam and Barbara Hendricks? Nothing. Karajan here rejects idiosyncrasies and histrionics, in favor of a straightforward, impeccably balanced, lushly romantic performance that is, in a word, irresistible. And the soloists have seldom sounded better. --Joshua CodyClassical Music CDs
