Performer: Jochen Sandig

Performers often speak of ecstatic moments. But that ecstasy doesn't always transfer beyond the stage. This was an extraordinary effort to bridge the divide. 

Although a British composer by birth, Rebecca Saunders is most respected in Germany, where she has spent much of her working life. Her latest project was an immersive choreographed programme with the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie based around her violin concerto still. 

Un Requiem allemand de Brahms parfaitement abouti, d’une réalisation exemplaire, d’une beauté chorale à couper le souffle et d’une très riche émotion contenue qui font honneur au Rundfunkchor Berlin.
