Un réquiem alemán

The Met Orchestra and The Met Chorus perform Brahms’s grandest creation: his Requiem. This sublime piece of sacred music is a profoundly uplifting and unusually humanistic work. The chance to experience it in the acoustics of Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, where the uncompromised depth of these ensembles’ sound can reverberate through the concert hall, is not to be missed. Soprano Lisette Oropesa and baritone Quinn Kelsey join in this singular masterpiece of the choral repertory.
The most sober of the Romantic composers, Johannes Brahms was a meticulous craftsman who wrote melodies as lyrical as his colleagues’ but never indulged in glitzy effects or melodramatic arias. Ein deutsches Requiem is Brahms’s longest and most personal work, and the one that put him on the stage as an internationally renowned composer. Despite its length, ambition, complexity, and arduous composition—it took nearly a dozen years to complete—it is also one of his most glowing and accessible pieces.

Preceding the Brahms on tonight’s program is Luis Ernesto Peña Laguna’s Oraison, which was commissioned in 2021 by the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal in tribute to the victims of COVID-19 and intended to be programmed with Ein deutsches Requiem. A Canadian of Cuban origin whose wide-ranging catalog includes orchestral compositions, chamber music, and choral works, Peña has had a brilliant career in Canada and abroad.
