Simon Rattle

Background: With this release on EMI Classics Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker return to the 19th-century Germanic repertoire on which the orchestra's heritage has been based since its formation 125 years ago. Following in historic footsteps Simon Rattle brings Brahms's most substantial yet intimate large-scale work to disc.

Ein Deutsches Requiem is unique among the best known works of this genre. This is not a setting of the Latin liturgical Requiem Mass as famously explored by Mozart and Verdi amongst numerous others. Instead of the traditional prayer for the dead, the piece is a humanitarian celebration of the joys of heaven and a message of consolation to the living, drawn and developed from Brahms’s Protestant roots. The composer himself referred to the work as a 'Human Requiem' and was compelled to write it following the death of his mother in 1865.
