Description:
The sublime tradition of Russian sacred choral music begins with ancient Byzantine chants and comes to full magnificence with the influence of Western classical music. In the great mixed choirs, ethereal and earthy sonorities magically combine with images of radiant light and extended prayers of fervent supplication transporting the listener to realms beyond worldly cares. This compilation weaves together some of the most peaceful and beautiful examples of sacred choral music from Russia and Eastern Europe.
