Rachmaninov: Vespers & Complete All-Night Vigil

"...from the first notes of this performance by the superb Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir we appreciate the difference between Western and Slavic sound, as a super-deep and resonant bass voice intones the Deacon's gathering words: "Arise! Bless us, O Lord." This and the following short chanted lesson by the Priest (a tenor) are left out of many recordings, and it's a treat to hear this bit of added authenticity, especially when sung with such conviction and power."
