PRAISE THE LORD
Russian Sacred music of the 19th and 20th century * This is perhaps the most stunning cd that I have ever listened to. To light candles and to listen to this music must be pretty much like heaven on a good day ** This heart-wrenching CD of 18th and 19th century choral sacred music is truly an example of why classical music is still being performed hundreds of years later. Washington Post reviewer Joan Reinthaler "The Kyiv chamber choir has only 20 singers, but what singers they are - big, marvelously focused voices, the kind that might easily hold their own on the opera stage but without the kind of operatic vibrato that can make an ensemble rattle.They can sing wonderfully clean unisons and the basses have low E's to die for" This is the first Kiev Chamber Choir CD and one of the first religious music CD released in Ukraine after the USSR breakdown. Earlier it was impossibly to sing and record religious music in the communist and atheistic Soviet Union and unusual rendition of Sergey Rachmaninoff vesper “To Thee We Sing” will remind us about those times. Kiev Chamber Choir sings this vesper without words. Yes, it was impossible to sing religious music in the communist Soviet Union, but it was possible to perform music by Rachmaninoff, ONLY without religious words. It was the times and thanks God they passed. The Kyiv Chamber Choir was founded in 1990. Choir members include professional singers, graduates of conservatories and musical institutes throughout Ukraine. The Choir's major awards include: Golden Diploma at the First Robert Schummann Competition in Zwikkau (Germany, 1992); First Award at the Twelfth International Church Music Festival in Hajnуwka (Poland, 1993); Grand Prix at the Sixth International Choral Festival in Sligo (Ireland, 1993); Second Award at Langolen Interna-tional Musical Eisteddfod (Wales, 1994) and more. |

UKRAINIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLS by Kyiv Chamber Choir Ukrainian Christmas traditions may be considered among the richest in the world. They reflect achievements of a greater than five thousand year old culture, impressive in the musical and contextual diversity of its songs, and in the number of its carols and epiphany carols, a number that is impossible to ascertain. In every Ukrainian village tens or hundreds of original Christmas songs arose, inasmuch as all of Ukraine sang incessantly throughout the festivities from Christmas through to the Epiphany (from the evening of the 6th to the 19th of January, by the new calendar). read more and hear |
