Collection: Sacred Music Subcollection: ChoirColour booklet (136 pages) in Russian and English with a short description of the performers and hymns and with the complete text of the Akathist for the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God in Church Slavonic.
This recording is dedicated to the 900th anniversary of the Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev. You will hear the Akathist for the Assumption and other hymns performed in the chants of the Laura, which are an example of the combination of the old tradition of singing with folk music, an example of the harmonious system of Orthodox liturgical singing. The recordings on the 2 CDs are melodic pearls in the liturgical necklace of the Laura. They convey the prayerful mood of believers, their striving to ascend from the earthly to the heavenly, from the temporal to the immortal. These hymns are performed with genuine Christian piety and veneration and therefore resound like a hymn of the victory of life over death, light over darkness, good over evil.
This is the first recording made in the reborn Cathedral of the Assumption of the Laura of the Caves in Kiev. |

Collection: Sacred Music Subcollection: Choir2 CD, color booklet (52 pages) in Russian and in English with a narration on the history of the akathist and the chants as well as with the full text of the Praise to the Most Holy Mother of God.
This akathist is like a wreath interlaced with the most beautiful laudations for the Queen of Heaven. The exultant «O Victorious Leader…» was heard for the first time in 626 when Constantinople was saved from pagan siege by the intercession of the Mother of God. As a token of their gratitude for the miraculous escape the faithful sang a hymn with an exclamation «Rejoice!» all night long, and Constantinople patriarch Sergius composed this akathist.
Along with the Common chants the CD includes original authors" compositions performed by the soloists with choir («O Mother worthy of all praise», «O Victorious Leader» in various chants, Canon to the Mother of God, music of irmoses by P. Chesnokov; music of troparions by A.Arkhangelsky). |

Collection: Sacred Music Subcollection: Choir2 CD and color booklet (20 pages) in Russian and in English with explanations and the text of the Devine service.
The Palm Sunday, a Sunday before Easter, is one of the Twelve Great feasts. On that day Jesus Christ solemnly entered Jerusalem to show he was ready to voluntarily take His death. People met Him, Who was riding on a donkey’s colt, as they would meet a victor king coming back after a military triumph - with the green palm branches in their hands, shouting «Hosanna!». But Christ knew those very people would repudiate Him. On this day all the Orthodox believers still greet Christ, as the Conqueror of death, with the palm branches in the East and with the branches of the pussy-willow in cold countries.
Hierodeacon German (Ryabtsev) performs 26 chants (among them are the Exaltation, «Glory, both now and ever», «Sitting on Thy throne in heaven») in Znamenny, Valaam and Common monodies, as well as in Znamenny and Valaam chants.

Moscow Synodal Choir - Alexei Puzakov, choirmaster
Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra - Vladimir Fedoseyev,conductor
Firma Melodiya presents a recording of St Matthew Passion (2006), one of the most popular works of Russian academic music of the 21st century composed by Metropolitan Hilarion. In due course, this work will probably take a special place in the history of domestic music, but it has already been a source of inspiration for The Conductor (2012), a motion picture by Pavel Lungin, and performed over fifty times around the world.
Its composer Metropolitan Hilarion (Grigory Alfeyev) is a pries of the Russian Orthodox Church, a theologian and public figure, an author of fundamental studies on religious issues, and a Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Oxford. In 1984 to 1987 he studied at the composition department of the Moscow Conservatory under professor Alexei Nikolayev. Later he left music for an ecclesiastical career, but subsequently returned to composing.
The uniqueness of St Matthew Passion lies in the synthesis of musical traditions of West European baroque where the musical genre of passion sprang from, Orthodox church signing and Russian symphonic music of the 19th and 20th centuries. St Matthew Passion is intended for concert performance, but in the opinion of the musicologist and chancellor of the Moscow Conservatory Alexander Sokolov "this music leads a man to God through knowledge of God, to spiritual through soulful".
The featured recording was made in 2010 by the first performers of the Passion who are the Moscow Synodal Choir led by Alexei Puzakov and the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Fedoseyev with the participation of young vocalists and prize-winners of international competitions Naira Asatrian, Olessya Petrova, Maxim Paster and Dmitri Beloselsky. |

Male choir of the Representation Church of the Laura of the Holy Trinity and St.Sergius in Moscow. Precentor Vladimir Gorbik
This is a recording of Matins of Great Friday performed by the male choir of the Representation Church of the Laura of the Holy Trinity and St.Sergius in Moscow. This service is celebrated in the evening of Great Thursday. You are familiar with it through «The Office of the Passions of the Lord» recorded by the monastic choir of Valaam Monastery. Lovers of church singing are offered a wonderful opportunity to compare these recordings and make certain that though the manner of performance differs, they are equally beautiful.
The performance is so full of feeling that those who cannot be in the church on Great Thursday will feel themselves present.
Colour booklet (8 pages) in Russian and English with a short narration on the service and the choir. |
