Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted’. Brahms was an atheist, and as he composed his German Requiem, he set out to console and comfort the living. The result is one of the most beautiful, most moving and (in its own way) most profoundly spiritual choral works of the 19th century. For this performance with the London Philharmonic Choir, Edward Gardner prepares the way with two very different, but equally compelling visions of eternity. Messiaen cries from the deep, in wild explosions of colour. And Lili Boulanger sings of struggle and liberation – music that will storm the heavens
