A German Requiem: Experience Brahms’ masterpiece live in Neustrelitz!
The sound of Johannes Brahms' important work "A German Requiem" will be performed on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 5 p.m. in theNeustrelitz town churchsound. The evening promises to be an impressive experience that will take the audience on a journey through comfort, hope and confidence. The event is hosted by Northern Courier particularly highlighted.
Brahms' work, which he compiled between 1865 and 1868, was originally conceived as an expression of his deep pain over the loss of his mother, Christiane Brahms, who died in 1865. Many believe that the death of his mentor Robert Schumann a few years earlier also fueled Brahms’ inspiration. The first full performance took place in Bremen Cathedral in 1868, and reactions ranged from admiration to mixed reviews due to the lack of traditional Christian content. Wikipedia reports that Brahms took the texts from the Luther Bible and apocrypha to create a message of inclusion and comfort for the living. His work is often described as “sacred but not liturgical.”
