About the concert
The Concertgebouw Orchestra in Ein deutsches Requiem with conductor Dinis Sousa, the Monteverdi Choir, baritone Christian Gerhaher and soprano Lenneke Ruiten – in her Concertgebouw Orchestra debut.
Monteverdi Choir
The Monteverdi Choir under the baton of its associate conductor Dinis Sousa comes to Amsterdam to join the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem. With this large-scale but restrained ‘requiem for humanity,’ Brahms created a Protestant, German-language answer to the more-common requiem mass in Latin. A requiem not for the dead, but to console those left behind.
Ein deutsches Requiem
The Concertgebouw Orchestra began this Brahms cycle in 2021, linking Brahms’ symphonies with Brahms’ choral works and solo concertos. And, in Ein deutsches Requiem for chorus, orchestra and soloists, everything falls into place. Brahms’ body of works clearly shows the influence of the early masters of polyphony. More specifically, Brahms was a great admirer of Heinrich Schütz, the leading Lutheran Protestant composer prior to the advent of Johann Sebastian Bach. Choral works by Schütz and Johann Christoph Bach (the Great, a distant relative of Johann Sebastian) point the way to Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem in their lyrics and text treatment.
