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 requiem mass, it is not the vision of the Last Judgement which forms the core of the work but succour for those in despair. In a special transatlantic collaboration, the Berliner Philharmoniker perform here together with the Atlanta Symphony Chorus. The conductor is Donald Runnicles.
