I have never heard and cannot imagine a more noble and satisfying sound.

Exquisite interiors give physical form to the spirit and soul of Rachmaninov's lush

choral masterwork...rich, elegant, reverent and sublime! Wonderful to contemplate

the infinite surrounded by the serenity of the divine blue coloration of the church

and the warmth and connection of those marvelous voices. Thank you, Raphael,

for another of your outstanding and truly special videos.

Breathtaking.

The Holy Spirit dictated Rakhmaninov's sacred music. This man was a prophet and a living icon. It cannot be otherwise.

Thanks for this jewel.

Heavenly passages,

the echoes of time,

a melding of hearts & images,

where the soul ascends,

in stillness of Spirit!
