Wolfgang Rihm’s Requiem-Strophen is a magnificent work. The composer, who was long contained with avant-garde circles, shows us here that he is also Brahms’ direct heir – the formal parallels with Brahms’ German Requiem are obvious in the lyrical tenderness of the most contemplative moments. Requiem-Strophen – created in 2017 by the same Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra who recorded it live here – combines Latin and German, mixing both the sacred biblical texts (the “Requiem” as well as passages from the Bible) with the secular poems (“stanzas”) of Rilke, Michelangelo and Johannes Bobrowski. The orchestral writing, powerfully modern and yet in tune with all the music of the past, displays sounds that are disturbing at times, reassuring at others, but always fascinating. Undoubtedly Rihm’s Requiem-Strophen joins the elite group of great Requiems in the history of music: Mozart, Britten, Brahms, Duruflé, Verdi, Penderecki, Berlioz and Fauré, to name of few of the best.
