Brahms’ longest work is also one of his most esoteric and evocative. The choice of German rather than Latin is symbolic of the composer’s intentions to express his innermost feelings on the tragedy of human existence in the most heartfelt way possible. This solemn musical rite sets a singular tone for Holy Week.
