Collection: Russian Sacred Music Subcollection: Choir This is a disc of Lenten and Holy Week hymns compiled from earlier releases by
the Male Choir of the "Valaam" Institute (e. g., the series "Russian Calvary"
and "Orthodox Shrines of the Russian North"). Though the perfomances are not
new, here they appear in a different thematic and liturgical context, which is
more focused than on the earlier releases. The "Valaam" Institute Male Choir
sings resonantly and tunefully, equally at home performing early unison chant
or choral polyphony of later centuries. The presentation of this release is
minimal: the titles of the selections have been corrected and are rendered
accurately in English, but there are no notes about the music or text
translations.--V.M. |

The Slavonic Dances are a series of 16 orchestral pieces composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1878 and 1886 and published in two sets as Opus 46 and Opus 72 respectively. Originally written for piano four hands, the Slavonic Dances were inspired by Johannes Brahms's own Hungarian Dances and were orchestrated at the request of Dvořák's publisher soon after composition. The pieces, lively and overtly nationalistic, were well received at the time and today are among the composer's most memorable works, occasionally making appearances in popular culture. |
