| Composer | Performer | Title | Genre | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Johannes Brahms | Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, Sir Colin Davis, cond., -w- Angela Maria Blasi (sop) and Bryn Terfel (bar) | Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem) | Classical, Romantic Era/Choral Music | BMG Classics/RCA Victor Red Seal | Brahms wrote this, especially the 5th Movement, as an elegy for his recently deceased mother. Being something of a "freethinker" for his time, Brahms wrote the libretto himself, stringing together biblical passages that are notable for not mentioning Christ. His focus was to comfort the berieved, as opposed to praying for the soul of the departed (unlike most funeral requiems) |
