Johannes Brahms spent 11 years composing A German Requiem, the death of his mother in 1865 inspiring its completion three years later. This is not a conventional setting of the Requiem mass but settings of texts selected by Brahms from the Lutheran Bible. Brian Wright introduces a performance given in July at St David's Hall, Cardiff.
