All-Night Vigil - Vespers By Sergei Rachmaninoff

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig & Risto Joost

All-Night Vigil (Vespers) is a choral composition by Sergei Rachmaninoff, completed in 1915. The a cappella setting of Orthodox liturgical texts blends chant-derived melodies with late-Romantic harmony and rich low-voice sonorities, representing the culmination of Rachmaninoff's sacred choral output and a key work in early 20th-century Russian liturgical music.
