Ein Deutsches Requiem

Brahms was deeply affected by his mother’s death in 1865 and his major choral work Ein Deutsches Requiem (‘A German Requiem‘), an epic meditation on life and the after-life, was written partly in her memory and partly in memory of his most devoted supporter Robert Schumann. First performed in Bremen in 1868, and soon heard throughout Europe, the German Requiem laid the foundation of Brahms’s international reputation.
