Interview
Donald Runnicles in conversation with Fergus McWilliam Brahms’s Requiem with Donald Runnicles and the Atlanta Symphony Chorus
It is Brahms of all people, the aloof North German, who has given us perhaps the most human of requiems. In contrast to the Catholic Mass for the Dead, his work does not focus on the vision of the Last Judgement, but on comfort for the bereaved. In a special transatlantic collaboration, the Berliner Philharmoniker perform here together with the Atlanta Symphony Chorus. The conductor is Donald Runnicles.
