About

Brahms himself made a piano transcription of the orchestral parts of his magnificent Requiem, a piece never intended for church performance.  The arrangement for two players allows a degree of intimacy, precision and contrapuntal clarity that cannot be achieved in the orchestral version; indeed, at times one is reminded of the Liebeslieder-Walzer op. 52.
 
In 1871 this version was given its English première conducted by Brahms’s friend Julius Stockhausen.  It is thus appropriate that the piano used on this recording is a Bösendorfer of 1872.
 
A Triumph” The Independent
 
“[The] small chorus brings with it enormous dividends in terms of polyphonic clarity” The Guardian
