Yannick Nézet-Séguin in conversation with Emmanuel Pahud
Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Brahms’s “Ein deutsches Requiem”
Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem is a powerful, solemn work, yet its message shows the utmost compassion. While the horrors of the last judgement are the focus in traditional requiem settings, Brahms’s work sings sensitively of sorrow and consolation in the face of death. The conductor of this performance is Yannick Nézet-Séguin, music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra and music director designate of the Met in New York.
