Brahms' German Requiem: Boulogne-Billancourt
Overview
UN REQUIEM ALLEMAND, BRAHMS, will be performed at SEINE MUSICALE - AUDITORIUM P.DEVEDJIAN. This deeply moving choral masterpiece, conceived by Johannes Brahms, presents an opportunity for reflection and offers solace through its commanding vocal performances and lush orchestral arrangements. Notably, Brahms' creation is a non-liturgical requiem, distinguished by its selection of texts from the Lutheran Bible. Its purpose is to provide comfort to the living rather than to lament the deceased. The German Requiem, as it's often known, is a profoundly affecting composition, characterized by both soaring soprano and baritone solo passages, harmoniously interwoven with the rich and complex textures of the choral sections.
