Yekaterinburg Philharmonic Choir – Rachmaninov: All-Night Vigil, Op. 37 (2023)

The Yekaterinburg Philharmonic Choir approached one of the heights of the Russian sacred music – Sergei Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil (1915). “It was completed in less than two weeks,” the composer wrote about it.
The All-Night Vigil is a service of the Russian Orthodox Church performed on the eve of Sundays and religious holidays. The dramaturgy of it – from the darkness to the light – was as significant for Rachmaninov as the use of the authentic melodies of the Znamenny, Greek and Kiev chants. The composer managed to find the ideal balance between the quiet contemplation and the passionate expression, the Orthodox canon and the creative freedom. The image of the Mother of God, most prized in the Orthodoxy, goes through the entire composition.
It is wonderful that the modern global audiences have an opportunity to experience the moment of the highest rise of thought and circumcision brought to them by the Rachmaninov’s work.

The Yekaterinburg Philharmonic Choir (artistic director and conductor Andrei Petrenko) presents Great Music of Small Forms, an album of works by Russian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. These include works by Varlamov and Glinka as representatives of the St. Petersburg school, by Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Balakirev and Cui (The Mighty Handful), and by Arensky, Anton Rubinstein and Tchaikovsky. Whilst these composers were primarily known for their large-scale compositions, here they reveal themselves as consummate masters of the choral miniature, finding their inspiration in the masterpieces of Russian poetry, in folk songs and in salon romances. Listeners will here discover not only world-famous works by these composers but also original choral arrangements of their music that were made especially for this recording.
