SacTrea - Orthodox Sacred Treasures CD

The choral music of the Russian Orthodox Church is designed to set the soul soaring beyond earthly cares. Sung by the finest Russian and Bulgarian choirs, this extraordinary collection of transcendent prayers and hymns highlights a timeless Russian tradition of faith and devotion. Lush harmonies float in space, angelic high voices pour down from heaven, deep bass voices arise from the center of the earth, and the great bronze bells toll with awesome grandeur. For sheer beauty, there is little to match it anywhere in the world. Tracks: Russian Cathedral Bells Great Ektenia S. Rachmaninov Hymn of Praise S. Rachmaninov Hymn of the Cherubim (excerpt) S.
