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.
