From the opening ‘Blessed are those who mourn’ to the final ‘Blessed are the dead’ its glorious arc of seven movements resonates with a sense of our shared humanity in times of loss. Saffron Walden Choral Society will perform a version with two pianos and timpani, expanded from Brahms’ own piano duet arrangement. They are joined by baritone Felix Kemp and soprano Miriam Allan, who came to worldwide attention singing at Price Philip’s funeral.
