After a long "drought," the last few years have been a boon for fans and lovers of the Don Cossack Choir. A number of releases of rarely heard recordings have appeared on CD, and now comes an even greater "collectors' prize" -- a full-length DVD featuring rare videos of the choir from 1963 through 1969, performing 33 of its most popular selections. Listening to the Don Cossack Choir is one thing. Seeing Serge Jaroff's inimitable conducting gestures face-on and the expressions on the singers' faces, often in close-up, adds an altogether different dimension to the experience. Discover why this choir was arguably the most widely heard and wildly famous Russian musical act in history, beginning their existence as penniless refugees in a Turkish internment camp and going on to sing more than 10,000 concerts throughout the world over a 60-year period.--V.M. |

2 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). |
