Brahms Requiem with Peter Oundjian

Unlike other Requiem Masses, Brahms’ A German Requiem is not primarily a Mass for the dead. Instead, it is intended as comfort and solace for those left behind as they mourn the death of others, confronting life as much as it does death. Maurice Ravel's Shéhérazade drips with color evoking images of the far east.
