Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker returns to the 19th-century Germanic repertoire on which the orchestras heritage has been based since its formation 125 years ago. Following in the historic footsteps of Klemperer, Celibidache, Tennstedt, Fischer-Dieskau, Schwarzkopf and many other distinguished EMI artists, Simon Rattle brings to the label Brahmss most substantial yet intimate large-scale work.

  • My goodness, every time I hear this music there is a lump in my throat and tears in eyes. It is incredibly divine.

  • Wonderful video. The choir sounds so impressive. Thomas Quasthoff, and Dorothea Röschmann are excellent too. I wish there was a DVD of this, instead of just a CD. It's fascinating to watch clips of these rehearsals.

  • @rklight33 Isn't he merely interpreting Brahms' own comment that he wishes he'd had the nerve to call it a Human Reqiuem?

  • @actorshmactor Bravo for you! Great story. I admire your courageous choice.

  • The first time I heard this music was when I was singing it with the combined choirs at San Jose State and the San Jose Symphony back in 1971. I was on a football scholarship. It transported me for life. I changed my major to music and my life was never the same. It never fails to transport me into another world.

  • I have the famous Klemperer recording but this one also sounds well worth getting

  • To the subject of Rattle's belittling the atmospheric religiosity which permeates this work -- it's about as inane as, say, imagining Richard Dawkins explaining the exasperating beauty of Chartres Cathedral by putting it down to implicit, unwitting secular urges and longings of its designers. How ridiculously fatuous.

  • The work does not get any more profound by unnecessary smug talking about it.... This needs no selling, Simon.

  • You've absolutely got to buy the actual recording of this work. It's an unforgettable experience listening to this great masterpiece with the world's greatest orchestra. Tommy Quasthoff is a marvel too.

    If you can't listen to this without fighting tears, I have to wonder if you've ever shed any tears.

  • Why oh why is this not performed more often?

  • wow Quasthoff's voice is very rich and clear
