Brahms’ Requiem focuses on comforting the bereaved instead of judging the souls of the dead. With its deeply humanistic poetry and lush harmonies, it is seen by many as the most transcendent choral work of the Romantic period. This lovely work is perfectly paired with two sublime and devotional Bach motets: O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht and Ich habe genug.
