A history of Russian Orthodox sacred music from the 'Moscow Baroque' to the present day, including many rare and long unavailable recordings.
"The liturgy of St John Chrysostom is one of the most exalted works of art. Anyone following the liturgy of the Greek Orthodox service attentively trying to comprehend the meaning of each ceremony will be stirred to the very depth of his being. I am also very fond of evening prayers. There is nothing like entering an ancient church on a Saturday, standing in the semi-darkness with the scent of incense wafting through the air, lost in deep contemplation to find an answer to those perennial questions: wherefore, when, whither and why?". This quote by Tchaikovsky sums up the emotional impact of the Russian Orthodox music upon listeners all around the globe: the deep sincerity and spirituality of this eternal music.
This new set brings together sacred choral music by Russian composers: Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Bortniansky, Gretchaninov, Kastalsky, Kalinnikov, Ippolitov-Ivanov and many others.
Sung by the best Russian choirs, such as the Rybin Choir and the Dumka Choir.
