Russian Chants - Easter Liturgy

Tradition in magnificent robes: Easter in Russia is the most important of all religious festivals, surpassing even the splendour of Christmas. People old and young flock to church in order to celebrate Christ's resurrection together in the Eucharist. The traditional Easter songs are deeply rooted in the centuries-old rituals of the Russian Easter festival. The music featured on this CD transports us to the joyful and yet meditative atmosphere of the solemn Easter service.
