Consolations

This program offers a sensitive journey into the heart of the German funeral tradition, placing Ein deutsches Requiem in the lineage of the Musikalische Exequien by Heinrich Schütz and the Köthener Trauermusik by Johann Sebastian Bach. It reveals a deeply human vision of the “German-style” requiem, one that is oriented toward the consolation of the living rather than solely toward liturgical solemnity.

Between echoes of the past and Romantic impulses, the works of Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn enter into dialogue with their musical heritage in a unique interpretation. Carried by the warmth of period timbres and the expressive vitality of Baroque phrasing, this program offers a sonic experience that is at once intimate, vibrant, and strikingly contemporary.
