In a typically stimulating pairing, Sakari Oramo prepares us for Brahms’s
greatest choral work with one of the finest sacred cantatas by the composer who was Brahms’s chief inspiration. Brahms was at pains to stress that his was a German (rather than Latin) Requiem, and like Bach, he took his inspiration from the Lutheran Bible to produce music that sings of human compassion as much as of a love and fear of God.
