The Hallé and Markus Stenz: Brahms Requiem and Wolfgang Rihm

Rohan Shotton, 24th October

Principal Guest Conductor Markus Stenz conducted a pair of very different works by fellow Germans, both featuring a strong nod towards Britain. The music spoke for itself, with a beautiful and original Brahms Requiem the highlight of the evening.The title of Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem is quite significant.
