Manfred Honeck conducts Brahms at S. Cecilia

From 13 Mar 2015 to 16 Mar 2015

S. Cecilia orchestra conducted by Manfred Honeck, with Christiane Karg soprano and Matthias Goerne baritone. Brahms requiem, composed in 1868, was written for concert performance and not as a requiem mass. It was the first piece of music that confirmed Brahms, then 36, as heir to the German musical traditions of Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven.
