About

Brahms composed choral music prolifically throughout his life. As the heir to Bach and the German Protestant tradition, he based most of his motets on texts from Luther’s translation of the Bible – yet succeeded in infusing them with Romanticism at its most soulful.

Awards and reviews

August 2009

From the early Missa Canonica to the late death-confronting Motets Op. 109, Brahms decants new wine into structurally old yet expressive bottles. Marcus Creed's expert 'nose' ensures an infallibly-blended sound and satisfying 'finish'.

The RIAS Chamber Choir produce a fine quality of homogenous tone and, under Marcus Creed, show themselves fully responsive to both words and music.The RIAS disc remains a strong recommendation, especially for its inclusion of the
surviving Missa Canonica fragments.
