Ein Deutsches Requiem
Pianists Anna Tilbrook and Libby Burgess join the 91Èȱ¬ Singers at Milton Court in London for a performance of Ein Deutsches Requiem by Brahms, arranged for two pianos.
The 91Èȱ¬ Singers meet one of London’s most vibrant, cutting-edge dance companies. In a programme of choral music that is angry and consoling, powerful and peaceful – much of it amplified by choreography, performed in Milton Court by East London Dance, and streamed online.
Curse upon Iron is the most-often performed work by the Estonian composer Veljo Tormis, a shamanistic allegory on the evils of war that simmers with raw power. After Leonard Bernstein’s spirited little Mass and a new work by Amy Bryce, Ben Palmer conducts Brahms’s glowing message of brotherhood and consolation Ein Deutsches Requiem, in its intimate version for choir and two pianos.
