Programme:
Johannes Brahms
Ein Deutsches
Requiem, Op. 45
The Philippine premiere of Johannes Brahms’ Ein Deutsches
Requiem, Op. 45 headlines the penultimate concert of music director/principal
conductor Olivier Ochanine with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra on March
18, 2016, 8:00 PM at the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Tanghalang Nicanor
Abelardo (CCP Main Theater).
Real life couple soprano Rachelle Gerodias and baritone Byeong-In
Park will be the evening’s soloists while the Philippine Madrigal Singers lead
the group of choirs performing in this magnum opus of Brahms. As the title
suggests, this Requiem features German text as opposed to the Latin of a
traditional Requiem Mass. And instead of being a mass for the dead, this piece
centers more on comforting and consoling the living.
This upcoming performance of a large choral work comes
almost exactly five years after the PPO played Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem.
Olivier Ochanine told me that it wasn’t by design that this is happening but I
think that as his stint with the PPO is about to wrap up, things are going full
circle albeit by coincidence.
The initially announced world debut performance of the
winning piece of the PPO Composition Competition is now scheduled for the concert
on April 22, 2016. The piece(s) to be performed alongside Brahms’ Ein Deutsches
Requiem is to be announced.
