The painting is called "Murder in the House" by Czech painter Jakub Schikaneder (1855-1924).

That's my great great great great great uncle!!!!

To me, Dvořák is the greatest composer who has ever lived. With all due respect to all the other great authors and musical geniuses, I like Dvořák most of all, as he manages to put emotion in his music in a very touching way. Each time I listen to Dvořák, I'm not just amazed by his incredible ability of composition, but I also feel the emotion in the music very strongly. More strongly than with any other author.

The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less. - Vaclav Havel

Painting is "Murder in the House" by Jakub Schikaneder.

Me fascinan los Requiem son piezas muy profundas.

What a beautiful discovery today. I have never heard the Dvorak Requiem in my life. I would love for the Nairobi Music Society to perform it one day to bring it to music lovers in Kenya

RIP Big George. I never could beat you at chess. When we played, this song would echo in my head as you thrashed me despite decades of learning. You never let me win, and I appreciate that. I never did get to play you last year to show you my FrankDrac variation, you cheeky git. Miss you, mate. I hope they've got you a comfy spot wherever you are, and you'd better be ready for me!

Sometimes we hear things and are not ready to hear them. I know I have heard this before but today I really heard it for the first time. I was so moved I didn't want it to end. Thanks to all who made it possible for me to have my soul opened up today.

Prague, December 2011 around Christmas, main square at Hradcany Castle.....the funeral ceremony for Vaclav Havel, this deeply touching Czech requiem sounded over the squeare....... thousands and thousands present in deep silence, in mourning, crying and outside the castle so many more thousands....just fifty meters away from the Vitus Cathedral where it all happened.....all so in "balance": this music, the ideas Havel stood for, the friendly, warm Czech mentality, the love you could feel around you....Maybe most emotional event in my life. All praise to Maris Jansons, who "understands" the universal love in this masterwork of Dvorak so well.

Probably the most underrated of all requiems.

Oh wow! I cannot believe this is my first time hearing this! Mozart's in D Minor was always my favourite - Dvořák has blown the top off the roof!!!!

Jakub Schikaneder (1855, Prague - November 15, 1924, Prague) is the painter

One of the most majestic compositions my soul has ever had the pleasure to feel. Amazing!

1:35:19 onwards is possibly my all-time favourite buildup to a climax, absolutely insane.

based on this requiem I think Dvorak lived a happy, proud and thankful life.

Almost two hours of beautiful, beautiful music and liturgy. What such depth of soul and pathos. Excellent world renown individual soloist, SATB. Bravo Fortissimo.

That feel from the paint, and the music. There are no words for that feel. That's art

I'm supposed to sing the bass part in 5 months. Wish me luck everyone

The most beautiful music I have ever hear in my entire life

Reminds me of watching old movies from back in the day. Good times.

The opening movement is amazing. Its graceful but also grave

I could listen this all day.

Divine. My favorite Requiem personally.

I love that returning four note melody. Almost as a memento mori throughout the whole Requiem

Absolutely heavenly thank you for uploading such beautiful music and thank you Antonin.

What passions rise and fall through this composition!

The German spirit of Bohemia is easy to find in this music. Pure Sehnsucht!

That painting just hits your soul. A mangled corpse of a once beautiful woman just sends chills to your core.

Cannot believe I had never heard this Requiem. Sung many, many of them. There are several moments that are reminiscent of the Verdi Requiem - some chords in particular. As usual, Dvorak's music is transcendent.

Un capolavoro ciclopico e travolgente. Dvořák fa parte dell'Olimpo.

I can't say how much I adore the Dies Irae part. I used to play on trumpet, so the fanfare, the trumpets... amazing, perfect coexistence and harmony!

To wildnorthsea (below): "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Dvorak and his family came New York in 1892 at the invitation of Jeanette Thurber as The Director of The National Conservatory of Music. He spent 2 summers in Spillvale, Iowa, where there was a Czech community. There he wrote The "American" Quartet and his String Quintet. Back in New York he composed The New World Symphony and his Cello Concerto and several articles, one entitled "On the value of Negro Music." He himself said, "I came to America to discover what young Americans had in their music and to help them express it."

Hoy murió Camus, un perro el cual me amó incondicionalmente, este requiem es para el. Te amo y nos veremos pronto.

Dvorak truly an inspired composer and emotionally fulfilling to sing.

A powerful piece of music like all of Dvorak's music. One of my favorite requiem. Thanks for posting.

I'm only half way through listening to this - its the first time I've heard this requiem and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I must confess to really enjoying the dramatic requiems such as Berlioz and Verdi - this one is really getting my attention.

I'm essentially an atheist but I am addicted to this angelic sounding music. There is something transcendentally beautiful about it as art. This composer was a genius. Perfect mix of singing and strings. Never too soft or abrasive. ASMR for the soul.

What a great discovery. It's hard finding music that makes me feel happy and at peace. This is the type of music I will only listen to when I want to relax.

No other piece gives me such goosebumps! One of the most beautiful pieces I have had the pleasure of listening to in this life of mine yet so criminally underrated. Magnificent.

Section one: I. Introitus: Requiem aeternam 0:00 II. Graduale: Requiem aeternam 10:23 III. Sequentia: Dies irae 15:33 - Tuba mirum 17:45 - Quid sum miser 26:23 - Recordare, Jesu pie 33:09 - Confutatis maledictis 40:16 - Lacrimosa 45:46 Section two: IV. Offertorium: Domine Jesu Christe 53:39 - Hostias 1:06:28 V. Sanctus 1:18:02 - Pie Jesu 1:24:09 VI. Agnus Dei 1:29:38

Вот это и есть крупная форма! Два часа наслаждения!!!!

How haunting. The image is heart breaking too.

Antonin was the VERY best composer of the 19th century, yet sadly he is completely underrated!

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have watched and listened to Verdi's( performed in as a Uni student studying music) , Brahm's, Mozart's and Faure's requiems being performed but not Dvorak's. I am thoroughly impressed and amazed that this is seemingly little performed by choirs and accompanying orchestras. The diversity of intensity combined with melodic emotion is awe inspiring.

Thank you so much for this. I have been listening to many requiems recently. Such moving music. This is exquisite

Absolutely sublime! Thanks for posting

amazing painting.

Thank you for this trip of mind Antonín.. It inspires me every time I hear it! You left behind you something so magical to us!

Turning out to be one of my favorite pieces of music of all time!

I've sang this piece and find it trully overwhelming and beautiful

Such a pleasure for my ears to hear. Perfection....

Listening to it for the first time. This is absolutely bombastic. I already fell in love for this great piece of work!

Magnifique interprétation du Requiem de Dvorák avec Krassimira Stoynova et Elïna Garanča , Stuart Skelton,Robert Holl . Bravo , merci

me encanta, me encanta,me encanta, me encanta

Очень трагичное произведение. Прекрасное и гениальное.

The applause at the end is also chilling!

This is by far one of my favorite pieces of music I've ever heard. I've heard the very beginning somewhere before not too long ago, I have a hard time recalling exactly what or where, either way, this is astounding, had no idea it was Dvorak until now, even though he already was my favorite composer.

This has always been one of my Favorite works and as I listened to this performance, sitting at the computer five feet from an open patio door, a thunderstorm rolled through. It was as if nature joined the performance, adding accent and dimension. It was wonderful! Thank you!

Люблю классику,спасибо.

Pathos personified. With the painting, it reminds me of the reckless endings of many, many operas. Most excellent. I have never heard this before. This is as good as anything ever made.

How they add so much emotion into these pieces are just mind-blowing!

BRAVO, thanks for posting,

Absolutely stunning!

One of those composers that just never ceases to astound with their majesty of sound creation. Music that will last for as long as humanity has ears to hear, hearts to feel.

Wonderful. Thanks for posting it. I loved.

No esperaba escuchar toda la pieza ahora, pero ya ha terminado, gracias Lord Dvořák, y gracias por subir el vídeo.

1:35:32 - 1:36:18 the most beautiful minute in the whole Requiem. The harmony, progression, sound everything sound so heavenly. Makes me cry every time...

Totally new to me and what a beautiful discovery.. Absolutely divine.

Thank you for uploading this as I did not know about it. It is very high quality.

this is such a beautiful piece!

As a vocal music major and conductor who was privileged to perform with the NYC Philharmonic, San Antonio Symphony and Fort Worth Symphony and under the direction of Bernstein, Carlo Maria Giulini, Stokowski, Robert Shaw and to never been exposed to this exquisite piece. Now at 81, I never will have the joy of performing this piece. Thank God I got to hear this recording. Thank you, Dvorak.

¡Magnífica! ¡Gracias por compartir!

This is my first time hearing this music and I fall in love with it.

Another great Requiem!

El cuadro se llama "Homicidio en casa", 1889, de Jakub Schikaneder. / The picture is "Murder in the House", 1889. Jakub Schikaneder.

Brilliant, deeply emotional piece of a great composer thank you for downloading 🇺🇸

The beginning is absolutely amazing...how did I not get a chance to hear it before?!!

Beautiful, haunting but most of all comforting music,

Painting is "Murder in the House" by Jakub Schikaneder.

First time hearing this work. It's amazing. Thank you for uploading

This exquisitely beautiful music can literally scare the hell out of you! Wonderful...

People, what do you talking about. This is deeply emotional work, one of the best sacred music ever composed in Europe and whole World. Picture show a tragic death of young girl, may be refer to Dvorak child lost. Please be more respect.

It's amazing how in something as ceremonial as a requiem, Dvorak still infuses it with his style wholeheartedly.

One of the best works of this kind ever

Nunca lo habia escuchado, una de las gratas sorpresas que te da la vida! Me encanto ! voy a seguir buscando mas musica de Dvorak !!

I'm essentially an atheist but I am addicted to this angelic sounding music. There is something transcendentally beautiful about it as art. This composer was a genius. Perfect mix of singing and strings. Never too soft or abrasive.

Thanks for the upload. Strangely, though I've been familiar with Dvorak's music for most of my life I've never bothered to investigate the Requiem. The more I listen the more I appreciate the greatness of this work, I guess it doesn't get performed that much compared to Verdi's because it lacks the "spectacular" more operatic parts but for me the Dvorak is without question, the finer composition. Great orchestral playing and chorus the performance is only spoilt by less than ideal soloists (Kertesz's soloists are far superior) however this does not detract from my overall enjoyment of this recording.

This is an amazing job from Dvorak! In the end of the prayer you really can't know if the absolution will be given or if the condamnation is coming. So dense!

Damn...so powerful. Love this.

Thank you Demo, very cool!

Un requiem que deja verdaderamente impactado! Magnífico. Mark de Zabaleta

So beautifull moving and sad music, wonderfull

Grande capolavoro, grazie per pubblicare queste opere classiche, mi avvicinano a questo "mondo" a me sconosciuto.

Not as recognized as he definitely should, in my humble opinion. His Music is of Superior Quality and Beauty. Every time I listen to his work, I marvel. Perhaps greater than Mozart, a matter of opinion for sure. Thank you for posting.

the painting is morbidly beautiful

Outstanding piece of music! Great post

wow! maximo bravo!! thank you
