Ein Deutsches Requiem Op
Ein Deutsches Requiem op. 45 Johannes Brahms Sehr geehrte Konzertbesucher, wir begrüßen Sie sehr herzlich zu unserem heutigen Konzert. Bitte denken Sie vor dem Konzert daran, Mobiltelefone und Uhren mit Signalfunktion auszuschalten. Darüber hinaus weisen wir darauf hin, dass aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen das Herstellen von Bild- und Tonaufzeichnungen nicht gestattet ist. Aus gegebenem Anlass bitten wir, auf Applaus zu verzichten. Die Kollekte am Ausgang dient zur Erhaltung der kirchenmusikalischen Aufgaben der Kreuzkirchgemeinde. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen erfüllenden Konzertabend. Ein Deutsches Requiem op. 45 Johannes Brahms [1833 – 1897] Sonntag 14. November 2010 17.00 Uhr Kreuzkirche Dresden Jana Büchner sopran Jochen Kupfer bass Cantores Minores Helsinki Hanno Norjanen einstudierung Dresdner Kreuzchor Dresdner Philharmonie Kreuzkantor Roderich Kreile leitung brahms und seine zeitgenossen johannes brahms um 1853 „Ich dachte, [...] es werde und müsse [...] einmal plötzlich Einer erscheinen, der den höchsten Ausdruck der Zeit in idealer Weise auszusprechen berufen wäre...“ schrieb Robert Schumann 1853 (Neue Zeitschrift für Musik) über Johannes Brahms. Kurz zuvor hatte der Hamburger Pianist im Zuge einer Konzertreise, die ihn auch nach Düssel- dorf führte, das Ehepaar Schumann in seinem Hause besucht. Brahms, dessen Debüt keine fünf Jahre zurücklag und dessen erste Kompositionen nahezu druckfrisch waren, dürfte die Einschätzung Schumanns einigermaßen beeindruckt haben. Immerhin standen der um 23 Jahre ältere Komponist und seine Frau in Kontakt mit namhaften zeitgenössischen Musikern. Aus den gemeinsamen Musizierstunden im Hause Schumann ist eine Freundschaft hervor- gegangen, die auch nach dem Tode Robert Schumanns 1856 anhielt und weit über alle künst- lerischen Intentionen hinausging. So begleitete Brahms im Sommer des Schicksalsjahres die Witwe Schumann auf ihrer Reise in die Schweiz.
