Brahms (1833-1897)

Description:

Almost 30 years have passed since the tragic death of Herbert Koegel, one of the greatest conductors of the East German era. The recordings he left behind have not faded away in the 21st century. This performance of the "German Requiem" is known for its extremely straightforward approach, presenting Brahms' masterpiece, full of sorrow and tension, as harsh yet warm music. In addition to the expressiveness of the two soloists, the Leipzig Radio Choir's highly accurate ensemble and correct German pronunciation, as if they were chewing every word, are also highly praised.
