Colorado Symphony: Brahms Requiem with Peter Oundjian

"Unlike other Requiem Masses, Brahms’ 'A German Requiem' is not primarily a Mass for the dead. Instead, it is intended as comfort and solace for those left behind as they mourn the death of others, confronting life as much as it does death. Maurice Ravel's 'Shéhérazade' drips with color evoking images of the far east."
