| The first recording of Gretchaninov's monumental Passion Week, a work composed and premiered in 1912, but which then lay silent for some eighty years before it was revived in the early 1990s in Russia by Valery Polyansky and the Russian State Symphonic Cappella. Grechaninov was a prominent member of the "new Russian choral school," gathered around the Moscow Synodal School of Chruch Singing and its outstanding Synodal Choir of men and boys. This is a superb example of his work. Very good liner notes and hymn text translations are provided in English, French, and German. |

| The Russian Symphony Cappella displays its customary technical exellence,and while the recording has some weaknesses in capturing the atmosphere of Holy Week, it is a welcome addition to the lineup of Russian sacred choral masterworks that are finally becoming available for the musical world to ponder and enioy |
