Two great works united in their contemplation of mortality form this beautifully balanced programme. Haydn’s ‘Mourning’ Symphony is one of his finest, and although the story that he asked for its slow movement to be played at his funeral is probably apocryphal, there’s no doubt that the movement is one of his most profound creations.
Brahms composed his German Requiem while mourning the passing of his beloved mother and still grieving for his friend Robert Schumann. The sincerity and serenity of its setting of texts from the German Bible has ensured its place as one of the best loved masterpieces in the choral repertoire. Yet another chance to experience the inspiring partnership of Donald Runnicles and the BBC SSO with Scotland’s internationally acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Chorus.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Writer and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Stephen Johnson considers Brahms’ ‘human requiem’.
NB there will be no Coda after this concert
