J. Brahms:<br />
A German Requiem, Op. 45<br />
Eduard Hanslick, a critic from Vienna, once wrote:<br />
“Since Bach's B Minor Mass and Beethoven's Missa<br />
Solemnis nothing has been written in this vein that<br />
could be placed beside Brahms' German<br />
Requiem.” This magnificent opus captures the<br />
heart and the imagination of the listener and fills<br />
them with emotion. Interestingly, the German<br />
composer did not write the requiem for the dead;<br />
it is dedicated to the living and those suffering.<br />
Ruth Ziesak and Klaus Mertens are renowned<br />
musicians, who rank highly among the best<br />
European singers. The soprano, Ruth Ziesak, is a<br />
winner of various prestigious awards, and Klaus<br />
Mertens is one of the most sought-after concert<br />
bass-baritone singers of our time.<br />
