Notes & Reviews:

Hans Werner Henze’s Requiem was composed in the early 1990s, and marked a significant turning point for the composer. Dedicated to the memory of Michael Vyner, the one-time director of the London Sinfonietta, it reflects an acceptance of death as final, culminating in a hymn to life. Henze holds that “Paradise is here, or should be here, not hereafter, when nothing happens.” These and other subjects are discussed at length in the conversation included with this release, which also features a performance of Henze’s Neun geistliche Konzerte. The 72-page booklet contains texts in German and English.
