Sacred Treasures; Chorale Mast (CD)

*New/Sealed*

On Sacred Treasures, the resplendent voices of the most esteemed choirs from Russia and Bulgaria captivate the heart and elevate the spirit. Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Lvovski, and other composers of the Russian Orthodox Church have their hymns impeccably rendered in a tradition of Divine Worship through chant. The CD begins with the ethereal tolling of bells and a delicate piece from Rachmaninovs Liturgy of St. John, and concludes with the graceful closing of the door on Grigory Lvovskis "Hymn of the Cherubim". The result is a sublime and distinct Byzantine glory, with enchanting melodies that effortlessly intertwine the baritones, tenors, and sopranos of the choirs. Sacred Treasures not only aims to comprehensively gather Russian liturgical pieces, but also to evoke a sense of inner tranquility and celestial grace. It truly creates a heavenly experience on Earth. - Karen Karleski, Product Description
