  • Can you post the Bogoroditse Devo from this recording? Did they shoot video of that segment?

  • It is such a clean sound and musically beautiful but it has little emotion, which is a great shame as in the right hands this is some of the most soulful music we have

  • @kaktebya It's certainly a different interpretation. And frankly, i bought, both editions on the same day and had listened to them both several times over within days. I'd say the Chamber of Culture choir is certainly more "Russian" and full sounding. But the resonance of the basso profundo of Tenebrae is unmatched. Particularly in the 5th and 11th movements where an isolated Contra Bb is sounded. It is unmatched. 

  • I dont think the piece can be done any better than this by a group consisting of ten singers. But you cant get the power, dynamics, russian style and the basso profundo that we use to think belong to the genuin sound of it.

  • Lovely indeed.

  • A very good performance, undoubtedly, but, never the less, the Chamber Choir of the USSR Ministry of Culture (conducted by Valeri Polyansky) sings it much much better...☺
