While Brahms didn't write a traditional Requiem, the opening of this part sounds to me like his "Dies irae".

Unfortunately there are major balance issues here. The choir is much too soft. This is the high point of the Requiem, and it just lacks the power. The ending also seemed restrained (perhaps because of the balance issues) and underwhelming.

zu der Zeit der letzten Posaune. Denn es wird die Posaune schallen und die Toten werden auferstehen unverweslich; und wir werden verwandelt werden. Dann wird erfüllet werden das Wort, das geschrieben steht. Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg Tod, wo ist dein Stachel? Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg? Herr, Du bist würdig zu nehmen Preis und Ehre und Kraft, denn Du hast alle Dinge erschaffen, und durch Deinen Willen haben sie das Wesen und sind geschaffen

This is my favorite part of the entire requiem :D

This section is particularly elegant, passionate, and moving. Thank you for posting this.

@PhyllisHeitjan BEAUTIFULLY stated, Phyllis! Exactly what I was thinking, but I couldn't have said nearly as eloquently as you did, and with such spare language. Thank you! ~Cate

This is a very intimate and at the same time passionate performance. All too often people us massive forces for something like this and it just loud and muddy. I am guessing this is not a large choir or venue. The diction is excellent, as is the phrasing; I can understand nearly every word and the energy is really spectacular.
