'A German Requiem’ Brahms
Performance NotesBrahms’ A German Requiem is a work as much of consolation as of loss. A profoundly personal response to a universal public ritual, it tempers doubt with hope in some of Brahms’ loveliest and most deeply felt music.

London premiere of Jennifer Walshe's 'The Site of an Investigation'.

Where Brahms reinvents the Requiem for his own age, Jennifer Walshe turns her attention to the symphony, deconstructing and reassembling it into the funny, dramatic, irrepressibly eclectic The Site of an Investigation – a musical reflection of ‘the psychedelia of everyday life’.
