Brahms' German Requiem

:

In the early '60s I retrieved this album from our refuse room on the UES. On playing it, I literally swooned from the magnificence and grandeur of the work, and have relived this wondrous experience many times. Repeating the beatitudes in such a glorious way on this important anniversary to honor those killed on 09/11/01 would be a most fitting tribute both to them and to one of the world's great composers.
