Mariss Jansons' audiophile recording of Johannes Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem is a combination of two concert performances given Sept. 20-21, 2012, which were dedicated to the memory of Kurt Sanderling, a frequent guest conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra who had died the previous year.
