This small-scale performance of Ein deutsches Requiem is sung in a new English translation prepared by Lara Hoggard that fits the original German declamation, and is based on the first London performance of the work in 1871 in a house on Wimpole Street. It features the piano four-hands accompaniment written by Brahms himself, and unusual chamber instrumentation.
