Johannes Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem

Johannes Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem DRSO, Herbert Blomstedt

[@brianhemeryck2815]

I sang this Requiem after my mom died. It was both emotional and cathartic at the same time. This version is absolutely spiritual and beautiful. I come back to this over and over again. It is balm for my soul.

[@kittyfleischman1404]

I was in college when Martin Luther King was killed. At the time, we were in final rehearsals to do this for our spring performance at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. We ended up doing it as a tribute to Dr. King. I was in high school, college and community choirs for many years, but never took part in a performance with more emotion than this one.

[@hildyva]

I sang this requiem with the Cleveland Orchestra and chorus in 1986. Kurt Masur conducting. A glorious experience!

[@ronsteen1001]

Stunning performance. The interpretation, phrasing, dynamics, balance--everything is perfect. To say it is a "musical" performance is a gross understatement. It has a spiritual quality that speaks through the genius of Brahms (and Blomstedt) to every listener. It surpasses even Bruno Walter's version from the mid 20th century in my humble opinion. I must have listened to this 20 plus times and it moves me every time. Often to tears.

[@jerrera45]

This is undoubtably one of the finest performances of this Brahms masterpiece.

[@watutman]

Yes, top three. Also the Frankfurt orchestra performance on KZbin, and the Norwegian Soloist choir here on KZbin.

Many, including myself, regard Blomstedt's CD of this work as sublime. However, this video recording with the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir is now top of my list. Camilla Tilling has never been so well caught in flight and Blomstedt gently draws from the orchestra and choir a profound understanding of the complete work.

[@ronsteen1001]

Well said!! Could not agree more!

[@georgedebruin6111]

What an extraordinary performance. Blomstedt understands Brahms like very few other conductors do. And Camilla Tilling sings with such passion. I have loved her version of "Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit" since I first heard her with Grete Pedersen and the Norwegian Soloists' Choir, the Ensemble Allegria and the Norwegian Wind Ensemble.

[@MarshallArtz007]

This is my favorite Brahms Requiem. Since you mentioned them in your comment, have you listened to Bach’s ‘Singet dem Herrn’ motet with the Norwegian Soloists’ Choir & Grete Pedersen? Incomparable performance with superb audio (use your best headphones 🎧). If you scroll down the comments there, I left time stamps & complete German & English texts.

It seems like the audience liked it. Brahms quite often ran things by his friends such as Joachim and Clara. In this case his friends advised him not to have that fugue at the end of the third movement, but he kept it anyway. And now it is one of people's favorite parts.

[@paulomeyer3900]

Um Réquiem Alemão, sobre palavras da Santa Escritura, Op. 45 (em alemão: Ein deutsches Requiem, nach Worten der heiligen Schrift, op. 45) de Johannes Brahms, é uma grande obra para coral, orquestra e solistas, composta entre 1865 e 1868. Com sete partes, que demoram uns 70 minutos, é a maior obra de Brahms. O réquiem de Brahms é música sacra, mas não música litúrgica como os réquiens de Verdi, Mozart e outros compositores católicos. Brahms, assim como Bach, era protestante luterano e exprime com sua obra a seriedade e firmeza da fé dessa igreja tradicional. Ele usa a língua alemã, como já sugere o título da obra. História A mãe de Brahms morreu em fevereiro de 1865, e esse fato provavelmente inspirou-o para compor um réquiem. Essa morte foi a segunda grande perda na vida de Brahms depois da morte do amigo e compositor Robert Schumann em 1856.[1] Até o fim de abril 1865, Brahms completou a primeira, a segunda e a quarta parte. A segunda parte está embaseada em esboços do ano 1854, o ano do declínio de Robert Schumann. Brahms, em 1854, foi para Düsseldorf, Alemanha, para ajudar a Clara Schumann, a esposa de Robert, e as crianças pequenas. Brahms completou a quinta parte em 1866. Johann Herbeck regeu as primeiras três partes em Viena no 1º de dezembro de 1867. Essa estreia não saiu bem, porque o timpanista leu algumas partes de forma errada. (Nessa época as orquestras ainda não faziam ensaios antes de apresentar uma obra.[2] A estreia da obra quase completa em 1868 na catedral de Bremen na Sexta-feira Santa, dia 10 de abril de 1868, com Brahms como maestro e o barítono famoso Julius Stockhausen foi um grande sucesso e um ponto decisivo na carreira de Brahms.[3] Texto O próprio Brahms escolheu e arranjou os textos de seu réquiem. Enquanto o réquiem tradicional da igreja católica, usado por compositores como Verdi, Mozart, Cherubini, Dvorak, é um texto litúrgico estandardizado em latim, Brahms escolheu os textos livremente da Bíblia na tradução alemã de Martinho Lutero, incluindo livros apócrifos, que se encontrão em muitas bíblias evangélicas em anexo. O réquiem católico começa com orações a favor dos mortos. Os protestantes rejeitam a ideia de rezar para um morto, porque o morto, uma vez julgado para salvação ou condenação, não pode mais ser beneficiado com orações e réquiens. Por isso o réquiem de Brahms se direciona aos vivos e começa: Felizes são os que choram, pois serão consolados. [Wikipedia]

[@user-gb1zk1iq9p]

È un requiem positivo nel senso di un Dio misericordioso del tipo nuovo testamento e non vendicativo del tipo vecchio testamento come si evince nel requiem di Verdi

[@raguifarag7709]

Would it have been better if Brahms finished the work at 52:36 ? The following parts are beautiful but this was the best finale moment in terms of both Music and text

[@RONWOLPA]

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ !

[@yousoupof]

Ein deutsches Requiem est donc une œuvre sacrée mais non liturgique. Elle est composée de 7 mouvements et dure 70-80 minutes ce qui en fait la plus longue composition de Brahms. Ce requiem lui assura la célébrité : Après une première représentation en décembre 1857 des trois premières parties à Vienne, désastreuse car mal préparée avec un timbalier halluciné et un orchestre approximatif, l’oeuvre ne fut pas comprise. Elle sera pourtant créée triomphalement à Bremen le 10 avril 1868. Brahms confia à Karl Reinthaler, le chef d’orchestre de la cathédrale de Bremen, qu’il aurait volontiers appelé cette œuvre un « Requiem humain » . Cette vision humaniste et sacrée est visible tout au long de l’œuvre.
