Brahms Requiem by Brahms, do. 11 mei 2023, Van (2023/2023), Dirigent Maxim Emelyanychev, Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Verenigd Koninkrijk

The SCO’s 2022/23 Season comes to a contemplative close with Brahms’ beautiful and deeply moving German Requiem. An agnostic himself, Brahms wrote his requiem as a humanist message of hope and comfort for those mourning lost loved ones, charting a poignant journey from trauma and anxiety to courage and acceptance. It’s one of his most personal works, bringing together richly conceived choruses with achingly beautiful solo vocal writing. Maxim Emelyanychev is joined by two exceptional soloists and the SCO Chorus for this musical monument to hope and consolation in troubled times.
