@pablononescobar The crown seem a replica of the Russian imperial crown-I noticed in the wedding scene with the Grand Duke and Catherine they hovered crowns over their heads as well. Interesting.

Could anyone please tell me, whats the name of this song (composer) and where I can find the score of this title...
Thank you

@audie83 Actually, the fact she doesn't put it on her head is made up for the film. Moreover, crowns of precious metals are only used by the Russian branch of Orthodoxy; the Greek branch (to which I belong) uses laurel wreathes, basically, and these are put on the head.

I know the movie is so historically inaccurate but I loved it.

Dragostea, cea adevarata, face toate intentiile onorabile.

I don't know about the crown-perhaps some our friends here familiar with the history of Russian coronations can tell us. I've noticed they sort of hover crowns over the heads of bride and groom during Orthodox Christian weddings-perhaps it is tradition to not place it directly on the the head for some reason???

Ahh-a mystery solved! The music is enchanting and I too have wondered what it was called and who performed it for years-truly majestic. I wonder why Catherine hovers the crown over her head but does not actually put it on?? It seems a bit too big-perhaps that's why??

No Problem. Valery Polyansky recorded all of the Bortnyansky choir concertos with the Russian State Symphonic Capella on the Chandos label on 6 separate cd's.
