A German Requiem, Op. 45

Few know Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem as well as Robert Shaw, who performed the work over a hundred times, including on two acclaimed recordings. This scholarly edition includes Shaw's English translation, the original German text, and Shaw's own performance and diction markings informed by the countless hours he spent studying and performing the work. Wikan's edition is a thorough, clean, and scholarly score that is equally suited for performances in English or German and, most importantly, is based on extensive research of and experience with Shaw's methods.
