Russian Season Fr., 1999

Basso Profondo from Old Russia
An incredible disc - magnificently recorded - including mainly sacred music from mesmerizing chant to soaring anthem but also a taste of patriotic and popular tunes. The amazing impact of the Russian "Oktavists" has to be heard to be believed. The sound of performers, singing an octave below the normal bass range with clarity and beautiful resonance, has been compared to the 16 foot pedal ...

heaven and earth singing
From our great neighbour in the East comes this wonderful music that has served as a first aid kit for me when times have been rough and I have been driving along the Finnish countryside, just driving for many hours on roads deep into silent forests. You simply cannot maintain a hopeless and desperate feeling when listening to this music. It simply puts you back on track. And it reminds me of the ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1992

Moving, intense music.
I've had this album for a little over a year now and still listen to it regularly. It's a favorite in my car, especially in the early morning while driving my kids to school. The combination of the sunrise and the moving vocals combine to leave me feeling full of life, ready to move on with my day. The chorus is truly incredible, and with a decent sound system the feeling of being in the midst ...

Beautiful, peaceful, and holy!
This CD truly surprised me....not knowing what to expect from the Slavonic Liturgy, and a big fan of sacred chant, I found myself deeply and profoundly moved! Chants of the Slavonic Liturgy contain some of the most beautiful and serene religious chant I have ever heard!!! I highly recommend this cd without any doubt or reservation!

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005

So many decades wasted in clandestine spirituality
This is a selection of 18th-20th century liturgical compositions by various Russian composers. It reflects the captured glory of the Saint Petersburg imperial court, and a few decades after its fall in 1917, under and after the musical revolution brought about by the very productive Dimitri Bortnianski. His "Gloria", given on this CD, is unique in its dirge interlaced to glorification, even joy ...

Not Anonymous
First, the chorus is not anonymous but the talented Optina Pustyn Male Choir of St. Petersburg, here a group of eight that sound twice their number. The choir was established in 1996 to preserve Russian church music, but this CD is of traditional folk songs, although several selections do have known composers. They were arranged mainly by the baritone of the group, Alexander Semyonov. Second, ...
