Brahms: Warum is das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen? - Choral Works

The famous German Requiem must not be allowed to overshadow the wide variety of choral music Brahms wrote throughout his career. On this recording, Daniel Reuss and Cappella Amsterdam are our expert guides in a program that takes in sacred a cappella motets by turns austere and resplendent, secular quartets with piano, and songs for six-part unaccompanied chorus. The crowning glory is a dramatic masterpiece for chorus and four-hand piano, the Song of Destiny after Hölderlin.
