Bobe:Braeckelmann - Herzogenberg: Requiem
Catalogue No: 777755-2
Barcode: 761203775521
It is a unique case in music history for a composer to have dealt with the theme of dying and death on the basis of three very different texts: the classic subject of the Catholic Mass for the Dead (Requiem), a work best described as a Lutheran cantata drawing on German texts from the Bible and hymn stanzas, and a poem of his own authorship.
