Rachmaninov Vespers
Work:: Rachmaninov Vespers (S650236088)
Production:: (T02020147111)
Armonico Consort Soloists perform the deeply moving and reflective ?All-Night Vigil', an extraordinary collection of pieces set to liturgical text from the Russian Orthodox Church. As a composer better known for his large orchestral works and the colour and virtuosity of his concertos, the Vespers, for a cappella 12 part choir, is written in an astounding style which could itself be described as symphonic. Sublime melodies and intricate rhythms paired with the colourful Russian script have made the Vespers timelessly moving, with a truly unique style of choral writing.
