Andris Nelsons's Brahms series climaxes in Ein deutsches Requiem, composed in memory of the composer's mother and his most famous champion, Robert Schumann. In this epic masterwork he poured out his heart as never before, a profound emotional release from a young composer who had emerged from desperately impoverished beginnings and now stood on the verge of international acclaim. It is performed this evening alongside a choral work regarded as second only to the Ein deutches Requiem, the Song of Destiny.
