This CD was rated as #4 among the 10 best classical recordings of the year 2001 chosen by James R. Oestreich, 
New York Times

"Here is another underexposed gem of the New York music world in a piece that it has honed beautifully in recent years and now recorded. If you don't know this work-with Rachmaninoff's Vespers, a cornerstone of the transcendent literature of the Russian Orthodox Church-you only think you know Tchaikovsky."

Nikolai Kachanov, Conductor
KOCH International Classics

RE-RELEASED  $15 

Prior to the appearance of this outstanding disc there have been no worthwhile recordings of this seminal work. The Russian Chamber Chorus of New York continues its high standard of artistic and professional excellence. Their singing is tuneful, well-blended, and has the clarity of texture. The interpretation displays the director's acquaintance with a liturgically appropriate style. Everything is "as it should be.

"Conductor - Kachanov and the chorus bring a luxurious, rich interpretation to the work."

Nikolai Kachanov, Conductor
Helicon classics

[Temporarily unavailable]

It is simply hauntingly beautiful choral music. Yukechev's writing is quite melodic and contrapuntal, with some elements of minimalism, but for the most part it is representative of Russian choral composers' preoccupation with sonorous beauty and consonance. Lovers of beautiful choral music should not miss this recording!
