magic of poetry
The Wiener Symphoniker played a key role in establishing Johannes Brahms' reputation as an orchestral composer. The »German Requiem« also connects them with the history of the Vienna Konzerthaus. In total, Johannes Brahms worked on his most famous composition for soloists, choir and orchestra for twelve years. That's why he said, »I don't like to hear that I wrote the Requiem for my mother either!«. It is primarily characterized by the intensive exchange with Clara Schumann. "Can't you like a German text as much as the usual Latin?" he wrote to his girlfriend. Brahms used Luther's translation of the Old and New Testaments as the basis for »A German Requiem«. "As far as the text is concerned, I want to confess that I would be happy to leave out the 'German' and simply put the 'people'," he said. For Brahms, what counted above all were those who were suffering and needed encouragement. 

With the predecessor of the Wiener Symphoniker, the longstanding principal conductor Ferdinand Löwe presented the »German Requiem« for the first time in the Konzerthaus in December 1915; a year after the First World War, more of numerous performances followed.
