Liturgie Des St. Johann Chrysostomos Opus 31
Rachmaninoff's Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom stands among the greatest achievements in Orthodox choral music, composed in 1910. This complete version features the Moscow State Academic Chamber Choir under Vladimir Minin, voices blending with the clarity required for liturgical music. The work unfolds across 15 movements, beginning with the Deacon's Great Litany and moving through prayers and responses. Minin's interpretation lets the architecture of Rachmaninoff's writing emerge clearly—the composer's mastery of choral sound is remarkable, voices layering with almost orchestral richness. This is devotional, meditative, built on centuries of Orthodox tradition. A profound and moving recording.
