The German Requiem is one of the world's most famous requiems, even though it does not set the customary requiem text to music. Brahms did not want to follow the Latin Catholic funeral mass, addressing the Last Judgment's terror and sinful human beings' redemption through death on the cross. His attention, on the contrary, was on Biblical texts that focus on human transience and comfort: comfort to the bereaved and comfort to all who fear death. To some extent, it could be called the epitome of Brahms's work. In the relevant volume of the new Brahms Complete Edition, on which this new practical edition is based, editors Michael Musgrave and Michael Struck clear up all sorts of legends, errors, and erroneous readings. Brahms's subsequent minor compositional changes are taken into account, poor decisions in previous editions are corrected, and the Bible texts sung contain writing and meaning corrections. In addition, the texts elucidate many myths about the composition's origin. Thus, this Urtext edition creates a fresh perspective on the People's Requiem, as Brahms would have preferred to call the composition. This new B&H publication is extremely good value, and it really does breathe new life into an old master. The pages of the full score are delightfully easy on the eye. The edition's visual effect is precise, lucid, and sympathetic - as, indeed, a good performance of Brahms's choral masterpiece should be.(Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ)

Diese von James Kruss nach seinem gleichnamigen Buch neu gedichtete und mit Liedern erganzte Kantate ist ein okologisches Lehrstuck. Der auf seiner Wolke uber das Land fliegende Florian sieht nicht nur schone Dinge, sondern erfahrt auch, wie menschlicher Leichtsinn, Dummheit und Gewinnsucht in Umweltzerstorung und Krieg enden konnen. Die Kantate endet mit einem Appell: 'Menschen mussen bleiben, doch wir hoffen, dass ihr Treiben in der Zukunft besser sei!' Florian auf der Wolke ist phantasievolles, lebendiges Theater fur Kinder ab 6 Jahren, das den Ausfuhrenden vielgestaltige Moglichkeiten der Umsetzung vom Chorspiel mit sparsamen szenischen Andeutungen bis hin zur ausgewachsenen Kinderoper mit Dekorationen, Kostumen und Lichtgestaltung bietet. Musikalische Ausfuhrung und Besetzung werden vom Komponisten bewusst offengehalten; eine Anpassung an jeweils gegebene instrumentale und sangerische Gegebenheiten ist moglich.
