CD Reviews

One of the best Vespers

Donn F. Davy, Concert Manager, the | San Francisco | 01/28/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Of many renditions available, we selected this one for use in rehearsing for performances in the SF Bay Area in April, 2000. Our director, Gregory Smirnov, a Russian native and Orthodox believer, felt this one to be particularly, faithfully Russian (unlike, for instance the Robert Shaw version, which is technically correct but does not reproduce the Russian sound demanded by the composition.) Performances by other American and English choirs also do not capture the spirit. It might be interesting for you to compare this Polyanski interpretation to any other, and hear for yourself what we mean."

Wonderful recording

"If you like Russian liturgical music, just get this!"
