A short introduction to the 7th movement of the "German Requiem" by Brahms. A wonderful composition which I've only recently come across. This seventh movement is in two sections, in which along with the wonderful chorus's we hear incredibly rich and deep 'bases' throughout. The title of this movement - "Selig sind die Toten" translates into English as "Blessed are the dead". Another beautiful movement indeed. Worth of note is that the 7th, and the 1st movements, end with the same music ! Conducted by the great Otto Klemperer. #Brahms #German #Requiem #otto #klemperer #7th #mov #SeligSindDieToten #BlessedAreTheDead
