Although Antonin Dvořák's Requiem was a great success from its premiere, it is rarely performed. However, the tenderness and melancholy with which the mystery of life and death is explored makes this requiem well worth performing and experiencing more often. Through its gentle, captivating melodies and sounds, Dvořák creates a calm that invites the audience to self-reflection. This is interspersed with numerous moments of immense expressiveness, such as the pure drama in the 'Agnus Dei' or intense chromaticism, a recurring motif in almost all parts.

“A sincere person need not fear death. Because life on earth is so beautiful, it is hard for us to let go of all the good things. But death is part of life; it is one of the laws of nature, and we insignificant beings must accept it.” - A. Dvořák
