A short introduction to the 5th movement of the "German Requiem" by Brahms. A wonderful composition which I've only recently come across. Subsequently followed by the 2 further movements, over a period of days. This fifth movement is in five sections, and in general is given over to the beautiful soprano voice of Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.
The title of this movement - "Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit" translates into English as "You now have sadness". A beautiful passage indeed. Conducted by the great Otto Klemperer. #Brahms #German #Requiem #otto #klemperer #5th #mov #IhrHabtNunTraurigkeit #YouNowHaveSadness #ElizabethSchwarzkopf #soprano
