  • I would like to watch and listen to it again, but my computer is sooo slow. At least, it helps me to become more patient... Btw, this is also my favorite piece of Rachmaninov!

  • @heidebretagne Sorry about your computer. Also, it's great that this is your favorite piece. It's a bit of a shame that this sort of music is mostly overlooked.

  • Just wonderful! Thanks for postiing.

  • @heidebretagne You're welcome. This is one of my favorite compositions from Rachmaninov: riveting and exceptionally divine.

  • This is by far my favorite strictly choral masterpiece. My favorite piece is still Brahms' Requiem.. But this amazing work is just... perfect.

    I am so delighted that I finally get to sing this. Rachmaninov was a genius, and the parts and harmonies are woven so beautifully and delicately, yet invoke such power.

    Truly enamoured. Thank you for sharing this lovely recording as well. Its hard to find a good one on the internet.
