Free Music Review: A Divine Experience
Hit: 5 Stars
I received this disc last year for Christmas and have listened to it roughtly 250 times since - perhaps a slight exaggeration, but my admiration is sincere.
Before owning this cd I knew that I liked the Vespers, but was not too very familiar with them. This cd, however, is now among my most-played albums in my iPod. The spirituality of these night-songs is almost tangible, one feels close to God in a mysterious, yet humble and honest way. Here, I think, one sees the quiet behind the man who gave us the robust and tempestuous concertos, the lush romantic symphonic works ... here is Rachmaninov standing still.
If you are a loyal classical music fan, you probably don't need some pedestrian amazon critic to tell you that Robert Shaw and Co. are wonderful.
If you are new to the Classical music scene, consider these an excellent "night devotions" addition to your library. When you stop to listen, you'll be glad you did.
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Vespers (Mass for Unaccompanied Chorus) Poster
If those Gregorian chant discs seem a little, well, limited lately, perhaps it's time to move on to something equally spiritual but a bit more harmonically interesting. This disc, well-performed by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers, and conducted by the legendary choral leader, features a ravishing score by Rachmaninoff and is sung a capella, as is all Orthodox church music. (For a heartrendingly beautiful number, listen to the second cut, "Blagoslovi, Dushe Moya," or "Bless the Lord, O My Soul.") Along with well-tuned choral singing, there is a fine solo contribution by tenor Karl Dent. --Sarah Bryan MillerClassical Music CDs
