Johannes Brahms wrote Ein deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem), Op. 45, following the deaths of his mother and Robert Schumann, his mentor. Although Brahms based his Requiem on scriptural passages, beginning and ending the work with a blessing “Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4), he didn’t write it as a religious piece concerning itself with the souls of the departed, but as a cantata whose message is of comfort, acceptance, peace, and serenity for those left behind.
Soprano Twyla Robinson has earned consistent praise for her musicality, dramatic sensibility and vocal beauty. In recent seasons she has debuted with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Staatskapelle, The Cleveland Orchestra and Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Poland-born Mariusz Kwiecien, recognized as one of today’s leading baritones and known for his robust voice and wide-ranging expressiveness, performs with the foremost opera companies and symphony orchestras in Europe, North America and Asia. He opened the 2007-08 Metropolitan Opera season with performances of Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor .
