Sacred Treasures III - Choral Masterworks from Russia & Beyond

The sublime tradition of Russian sacred choral music began with Byzantine chants and evolved to full harmonic magnificence in the late 19th century. In the great mixed choirs, earthly and ethereal voices join in ardent prayers of devotion and trancendent invocations of "Amen" and "Alleluia".

Perhaps even more than its best-selling predecessor, this collection of choral masterworks by Rachmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Komitas, Bach and others sets the soul soaring beyond worldly cares.
