Movie Reviews of Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem, OP. 45
Movie Review: Not First Choice
Summary: 3 Stars
Technially accomplished-- but too "routine", too "laid-back". (What has happened to Abbado in recent years?)
The "Alles fleish ist wie grass" does not have the fatalistic intensity it requires-- does not build to the intensity I expect in this section.
But-- Bryn Terfel's work seems almost definitive: the sheer beauty and power of his voice and his musical choices in "Lehre doch mich" are matchless (surpassing, I think, even Fischer-Dieskau).
The camera lingers far too much on near close-ups of choir members. Unnecessary and distracting. The camera needs to pull back, especially at key moments, to view the orchestra in full.
Finally, this was not the emotional experience it should be. It is not easy music to perform convincingly, but Abbado gave what I would call a "secularist" version of this work. Not at all convincing.
