Our Spring concert features Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem (‘A German Requiem’).

More Information (MKFM is not responsible for external websites)

Undoubtedly one of the greatest of all choral works, Brahms German Requiem is deeply moving and profound. The sheer beauty of this work reaches its pinnacle in the well-known movement Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen (‘How lovely are thy dwelling places’). For our performance we are using the piano-duet accompaniment. Brahms, himself a well-known pianist, produced this alternative scoring with piano-duet accompaniment which was used at the first complete performance of the Requiem in London.
The concert will also include two further exquisite works: the song-cycle Les Nuits d’Été by Hector Berlioz and Schubert’s Fantasia in F minor for piano duet.
Conducted by Ian Smith, the pianists will be Tim Grant-Jones and John Witchell. The soloists are Rebecca Bottone (soprano) and Dominic Keating-Jones (baritone).
