Brahms - Mendelssohn

In his Deutsches Requiem, Brahms sets aside Latin and the fear of judgment: he chooses biblical texts that speak to the living, to those who mourn and offers them a long musical embrace, deeply moving in its humanity.Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42, in which the thirsty soul seeks hope, reveals the luminous side of such hope, with a nod to Bach.The singers of the Chœur classique de Montréal will be joined in the second half of the concert by those of the Chœurs du Plateau to perform the Deutsches Requiem, forming a chorus of over 110 high level choristers who, along with two outstanding soloists and the Sinfonia de Montréal orchestra, will gather at the Maison symphonique for an evening of fervour and beauty.
