Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem (1984) more music like this

performed by Arleen Augér (soprano), Richard Stilwell (baritone), Atlanta Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw (conductor)
composed by Johannes Brahms

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's playing is a bit turgid, and Telarc's 1983 digital sound is more than a bit thick. Soprano Arleen Augér's singing is wonderful, but baritone Richard Stilwell's singing is merely adequate.

composed by Benjamin Britten

Comparisons between a landmark first recording and those that follow it may be inevitable, but they need not be invidious. Since Benjamin Britten's classic rendition of his War Requiem, Op. 66, set an incredibly high standard, it seems unlikely that others could match it. Yet this remarkably controlled but powerful and ultimately moving ...
