Album Description
Written during Rachmaninov?s most creative period, which culminated in the Second and Third Piano Concertos, the 1915 All-Night Vigil, popularly known as Vespers, is a masterpiece of 20th-century sacred music. Inspired by the Saturday All-Night Vigil celebrated in the Russian Orthodox Church, Rachmaninov?s setting is remarkable for its melodic invention, choral virtuosity and Slavic intensity. This performance features Finland's only full-time professional choir, the Finnish National Opera Chorus, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2005. The conservatory-trained soloists bring a wealth of talent to this recording, which was rendered under the direction of famed conductor and choirmaster Eric-Olof Söderström.
