Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem & Dvorák's Symphony From the New World

Dvorák’s 9th Symphony, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, brings alive the beauty and grandeur of the new world. Brahms’ A German Requiem, an intimate expression of comfort, opened the 2001 season of the New York Philharmonic nine days after 9-11, offering solace to a grieving nation. Just as Brahms and Dvorák were friends, these two masterpieces complement each other perfectly.
