Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

A German Requiem is, in the minds of many, the foremost work of Brahms, and certainly his longest creation. Contrary to many other requiems over the centuries, this work does not use the Latin taken from the funeral service but instead various Biblical extracts in the German translation by Luther. Brahms did not write the work for liturgical purposes; he considered the human relationship with death to be more important than the Christian content. The composition, which testifies to extraordinary musical craftsmanship, being full of fugues and remarkable harmonic and structural solutions, is one of the crowning achievements of Brahmsian Romanticism. On this occasion it is conducted by the Bulgarian-born Dian Tchobanov (now resident in Austria), with selected soloists and two outstanding Hungarian choruses plus the Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra.
