Brahms� great
choral work performed by the legendary Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus
conducted by Robert Spano
This
cornerstone of the choral repertoire was recorded 24 years ago, almost to the
day, by Telarc with the great Robert Shaw leading the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus. So why make another recording? Simply put, new
recording technology, along with the great skill and mastery of Robert Spano,
prompted Telarc to revisit this masterwork and add a new interpretation and
performance to their existing catalogue of great choral works.
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.

and wide-ranging expressiveness, performs with the foremost opera companies and
symphony orchestras in Europe, North America and
