The title is incorrect. It should be All-night Vigil as the first half is Great Vespers and the second half Matins, according to Russian Orthodox liturgical practice.

Your comment is completely true, but I rather think the "Vespers" title of this composition is a colloquial and casual title, with the "All-Night Vigil" being the proper, formal name.

This is music that requires one to examine their heart and soul. It leads us to ask the most profound spiritual question that is required of every thoughtful human being who acknowledges that there just might be a Supreme Being that produces such an inquiry. Nothing is more imperative than this exploration that will define you. As you listen to this sacred music, note the supplication tonality and the glory that abides deeply within it.

My little dad (with whom I had a lot of relationship difficulties in my life, but I know he loved me, that's what is most important).

Soloist in "Now let They servant depart" 00:15:36 sounds extremely Italian.

The program notes are quite accurate and relevant in setting the context for this great composer’s often touchy relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church. One aspect of his personal life that is often politely overlooked in commentaries such as this is that Rachmaninov married his first cousin, which violated the Church’s restrictions on consanguinity. As such, Rachmaninov’s marriage could not be confirmed by an Orthodox wedding service. This self-imposed isolation obviously had a direct and lasting impact on his spiritual life. 1. ‘Come, Let Us Worship’ - The tempo is rushed and fails to do justice to the composer’s fanfare-like conception for this setting. 2. ‘Bless the Lord, O my soul’ - Also rushed and even a bit ragged in places (as if the director and soloist couldn’t agree on the appropriate tempo). 3. ‘Blessed is the Man’ - Yes!! The director finally got the memo. This is an appropriately measured and respectful rendering of Rachmaninov’s richly textured choral harmonies. 4. ‘O Serene Light’ [Phos hilaron] - Perfect. From hereon in, the renditions are on par with the best in the available discography of the ‘Vespers.’

@rog8852

2 жыл бұрын

Mr. Berezansky: You are correct; in #1, the tempo was rushed and almost resembled the choir singing notes instead of music. The conductor missed the majesty of the piece. In #2, also agree w/ your comments. Further, the conductor couldn't control the bass and tenor sections' balance, likely because he was rushing them. In my mind, for both, I was yelling at the conductor to Slow Down! Subsequent pieces were better.

For my taste, there was not enough attention to the language in this recording. There is no clear unity in vowels and pronunciation, also in the softness or accents. Partly because of that, the performance sounds pale, does not project a strong common idea. The soloist choice is not the best - voices are good, but technique and intellectual moment lack. Also, there should be a deeper understanding in znamenny chant and how it is sung to do the Vespers of Rachmaninoff, as it is based on znamenny chant and it is the key to the idea of the piece and its sound.
