About
Outstanding soloists: Donna Brown (Soprano), Gilles Cachemaille (Bass-Baritone)
- A further reference recording of Helmuth Rilling and his Stuttgarter Ensembles Gächinger
Kantorei and Bach-Collegium belonging to the series “Great Choral Works“
- „Brahms-singing with predictive dimension and forcefullness but in the same way deeply
human in each phrase“ Fono Forum
This "Requiem" is not based on the familiar text of the
Catholic funeral mass, but is instead sensitively and
knowledgably assembled from text from the Old and
New Testaments by Brahms himself. Indeed, it was
not his intention to pattern his Requiem after the Latin
mass for the dead, nor to proclaim what he felt were
false hopes for resurrection. Instead, “Ein deutsches
Requiem” is a work of consolation for those left behind.
This aspect is particularly emphasized in Helmuth
Rilling’s moving interpretation.
Donna Brown (soprano) and Gilles Cachemaille
(baritone) are the outstanding vocal soloists, delivering
well-profiled performances that are perfectly integrated
into the overall balance of sound. Together with his
regular collaborators, the Gächinger Kantorei Stuttgart
and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart, Rilling delivers a
performance full of gravitas that effectively reconciles
the themes of death and mourning with a transcendent
sense of spiritual consolation with a sense of
immediacy seldom encountered in other
performances.
