Palm Sunday is the feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem - His voluntary coming to His sufferings and death. He was met as the King and the Lord, but in a few days was sentenced to death and crucified. The hymns in the first part of the CD are dedicated to these events, about which we know from the Gospel.
Recorded in the second part are hymns from the Festal Triodion, i.e. the period of church services from Pascha to the Sunday of All Saints. This will be interesting to the listeners to hear these festive hymns performed with unusual austerity and restraint.
Recorded in St.Nicholas skete of the Valaam Monastery. |

The verses are penitential, tearful and moving, so that they call the soul to repentance" - this title in chant manuscripts relates to particular works. First of all, these texts appeared in chant books at the end of the fifteenth century. They were not connected to the Church"s Ordo and liturgical practice. They are an ancient layer of Russian para-liturgical religious poetry. The purpose of the verses was to lead the singers and listeners to a pure repentance of sins, once committed or imagined, that would benefit the soul.
The freedom of melody, its beauty and divine inspiration, the lofty sensitivity of its poetry, and the power of all these component parts were so great that the penitential verses survived the medieval tradition by receiving embodiment at the end of the seventeenth century in the new genres of para-liturgical lyric poetry of psalms and religious verses, and in the twentieth century - in the great artistic works of the Russian composers Georgy Sviridov, Valery Gavrilin and Vladimir Martynov.

Choir of St. Alexander Nevsky Patriarchal Cathedral, Sofia
Dimitar Dimitrov, conductor
Gega New Music Company pays special attention to featuring liturgical music in its catalogue. Up to now the company has released a number of recordings with liturgical chants, which are a part of the usual festive liturgies. This is the first complete recording in Bulgaria of the Paschal Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, in observation of the East-Orthodox canon the way it is performed at the St. Alexander Nevsky Patriarchal Cathedral, together with the choir performance, chants and the bell chimes of the Cathedral. The St. Alexander Nevsky Patriarchal Cathedral was consecrated on September 12, 1924. Three years later (1927) Apostol Nikolaev established the mixed Choir with the Cathedral, which, ever since its foundation, has taken part in all church events and festive liturgies. In 1936, Prof Dobri Hristov, a great Bulgarian composer and conductor, student of Antonin Dvorak at the Prague Conservatory, took the position of conductor. D. Hristov is the author of a number of religious works, most of which were composed especially for the Cathedral's choir and they are still present in its repertoire. After Maestro Dobri Hristov, the choir was conducted in the course of 36 years by Angel Popkonstantinov, and since 1978 his conductor has been Dimitar Dimitrov. He graduated from the ”St. John of Rila” Sofia Ecclesiastic Seminary, the “St. Kliment of Ohrid” Academy of Theology, and the State Academy of Music in Sofia. While a student, in 1967, together with his colleagues from the Academy of Theology, he founded the “St. John Koukouzeles - Angeloglasniyat” Chamber Ensemble, whose conductor he has been ever since. He has been teaching religious music at the Department of Theology with the “St. Kliment Ohridsky” Sofia University and at the “Venerable Paisii of Hilendar” Subsidiary of the Plovdiv University in Kardjali. He also reads lectures in liturgical order at the Pancho Vladigerov State Academy of Music. Gega New released the present double CD album with this unique recording to mark the 80th anniversary from the consecration of the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The programme is also dedicated to the 2000th anniversary of Christ's Nativity. |

A stellar line-up of soloists, conductor, choir and orchestra combine forces in the re-mastered 2 CD set of Mozart's arrangement of Handel's much loved 'Messiah'.
In April 1742, shortly after the first performance of Messiah in Dublin for the city's Charitable Musical Society, the Dublin Journal reported that the oratorio "was allowed by the greatest of Judges to be the finest Compostion of Musick that was ever heard".
Sir Charles Mackerras continues the constantly evolving performance history of one of the world's most enduring masterpieces. |
