You can listen to this album online on http://www.origenmusic.com/sacred-choir-music-2.html ##### Great selection of Christian choral music. Sacred choral music by Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, traditional chants of Russian and Eastern orthodox church, supplemented with original church bells ringing of Kiev Pechersk Monastery of caves. The CD is opened with unusual rendition of Rachmaninoff vesper "To Thee We Sing" performed by the Kiev Chamber Choir. The words of the chant are omitted. This rendition is reminder about crazy times of communist Soviet Union. It was impossibly to sing or record religious music in the communist and atheistic country, but it was possible to perform music by Sergey Rachmaninoff, ONLY without religious words. Then you will hear the rich 1000 years old chant tradition of Kiev Pechersk Monastery of caves- by famous Kiev Pechersk monks choir which for many centuries is the legend and as magnet attracts thousands pilgrims from all over the world. Their singing augmented with some chants by Metropolitan choir of Kiev Pechersk Monastery which usually take part in the church services with His Beatitude Vladimir (Sabodan), Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine. Ensemble of early church music Sretenye brings to life early worship music of Byzantine, Georgia, Bulgaria and Old Rus of the VIII-XV centuries. Russian Christmas music and Ukrainian carols represented at the end of the disk. It worth to mention about church bells sounds. You will hear original church bells ringing of Kiev Pechersk monastery. This church bells are very popular not only among believers. Even Universal-TriStar pictures used our church bells sounds for their 'Spider Man-3' trailer.
