How beautiful.

The opening to the NY Philharmonic concerts is the Brahms _Ein deustches Requiem_, and I’m listening to it broadcast live. It’s also a memorial concert to the people lost in the disaster.

It’s so beautiful; I wish I could be there right now.

It is my favourite Requiem, superior imo over the more popular Mozart and Verdi requiems (although I like those as well).

It was beautiful, although the temi were a LOT faster than I’d ever heard with this. But it wasn’t rushed. Just very very powerful.

Fantastic bartione! Soprano was good, but a little wobbly in a couple places.

Very very touhing performance. Wish I had taped it.
