Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Paul Hillier

With the masterful Vespers Liturgy for Choir a cappella, composed in 1915, Rachmaninoff transports the listener into a musical world of admirable depth and inwardness. Inspired by ancient modes, he created for the Orthodox liturgy one of his most beautiful works. Paul Hillier's moving reading most subtly conveys the spirituality and rich polyphony of this compositional gem.

It hardly hardly better."
