Ein Deutsches Requiem
by Johannes Brahms

Janice Chandler, soprano
Richard Zeller, baritone
Norman Scribner, conductor

Recorded live at the
Kennedy Center Concert Hall

Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem was recorded live at the Kennedy Center in 1995 under the baton of Norman Scribner. Renowned soloists, soprano Janice Chandler and baritone Richard Zeller are featured. The longest of Brahms' work in any form, A German Requiem was originally planned to be four movements. Inspired by the death of his mother in February 1865, Brahms expanded the scope of the work to six and finally seven movements. Considered a monumental classic, the music is powerful and hauntingly beautiful, and a must-have for classical music lovers.
