Vespers / Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff

Vespers / Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is an album of sacred choral works by Russian composer Sergey Rachmaninov, with the Vespers composed in 1915 and the Liturgy in 1910. The music is rooted in Russian Orthodox chant and late-Romantic harmony, with dense close-voicing, sonorous bass lines and modal melodies, and it is from a later period in the composer's career when he wrote major liturgical works.
