About this product
This powerful live recording from the Philharmonie Luxembourg brings together the choir of the renowned Gaechinger Cantorey and the Luxembourg Philharmonic under the musical direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann for an emotionally charged interpretation of Johannes Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem. Featuring acclaimed soloists Katharina Konradi (soprano) and Konstantin Krimmel (baritone), this performance offers a deeply human and musically refined experience of one of the most important choral works of the 19th century.Unlike the traditional Latin Requiem, Brahms' German Requiem focuses not on the dead but on the living - on comfort, compassion, and hope. Drawing on texts from the Lutheran Bible, Brahms crafts a spiritual and emotional journey that speaks directly to the human condition, transcending religious boundaries and remaining timeless in it's message.Rademann, a master of choral conducting, shapes the work with clarity, warmth, and expressive nuance. Under his direction, the Gaechinger Cantorey delivers a performance marked by rich tone, articulate phrasing, and emotional intensity. The Luxembourg Philharmonic adds glowing orchestral color and transparency, perfectly complementing the vocal forces. The synergy between choir, orchestra, conductor, and soloists is palpable throughout, offering a fresh yet profoundly respectful interpretation of this beloved masterpiece.

In September 2013, when the National Choir of Ukraine DUMKA visited Muhlhausen and Merseburg with the All-Night Vigil op. 37 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, no one had any idea that a profound artistic friendship would develop between the colleagues from Ukraine and Central Germany following these brilliant concerts. Further encounters and joint projects followed, among them the performance of the German Requiem op. 45 by Johannes Brahms in November 2015 with the National Orchestra of Ukraine, the National Choir of Ukraine DUMKA and the soloists Ute Selbig and Andreas Scheibner under the direction of Michael Schonheit. In a perfect way, the Ukrainian choir sings in foreign languages, a.o. German. Shortly afterward the idea was born to invite DUMKA to Germany again with the so-called InchHebbel RequiemInch by Max Reger and the German Requiem by Johannes Brahms. On September 16, 2016, the Brahms Requiem was again performed in Muhlhausen for the first time in 50 years. The German broadcaster Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk recorded the concert. It is this live recording which can be heard on this double album, including three organ pieces by Brahms and Reger played by Denny Wilke at the Sauer Organ in St. Mary's in Muhlhausen.
