Synopsis

Amazon.com
In the mid-80s, it was noted in an article by a curious vocal specialist that the once-ubiquitous, even stereotypical, deep Russian bass voice had become relatively scarce. Happily, with the end of the Soviet empire and the resurgence of the Russian Orthodox Church--and, therefore, increased demand--those foundation voices of the liturgy have returned in plenty. Several of those basses (along with some fine tenors, altos and sopranos) are heard to fortunate effect in this recording. There is a rare example of Tchaikovsky writing in traditional liturgical mode in the song that gives the album its title. --Sarah Bryan Miller
 

CD Reviews

A perfectly bound CD and truly angelic
08/23/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A perfectly bound CD in which the integral theme remains true throughout. Its general ambience is heavenly though there is but one thing missing, the soprano has simply not been aloud to portray its acute, necessary qualities."
