Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem – chamber ensemble orchestration by Iain Farrington
Yale Schola Cantorum, David Hill (conductor)
CDA68242
A performance which reveals a quite different dimension to this most monumental of all Brahms’s works. Iain Farrington’s arrangement—the orchestral forces distilled down to an instrumental octet inspired by the composer’s own piano reduction—is a perfect match for the glorious young voices of Yale Schola Cantorum.
