Blazhen muzh (from All-Night Vigil) - Rachmaninov - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short 

Wonderful. This is some of the most profound music ever composed, it grasps you deep into your soul. I’m not religious but still no music moves me more than this. I believe that the vespers are actually Rachmaninov’s masterpiece. Wonderful performance.

Lyrics: (with english translation) Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked. Alleluia. The Lord knows the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked will perish. Alleluia. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in Him with trembling. Alleluia. Blessed is he who puts his trust in Him. Alleluia. Arise, Lord, save me, my God. Alleluia. The Lord is the savior of the people of His blessing. Alleluia. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever more. Amen. Alleluia. Glory to You, God. Translation by Barry Johnston - - - - - - - - - Блажен муж, иже не иде на совет нечестивых. Аллилуйиа. Яко весть Господь путь праведных, и путь нечестивых погибнет. Аллилуйиа. Работайте Господеви со страхом и радуйтеся Ему с трепетом. Аллилуйиа. Блажени вси надеющиися Нань. Аллилуйиа. Воскресни, Господи, спаси мя, Боже мой. Аллилуйиа. Господне есть спасение и на людех Твоих благословение Твое. Аллилуйиа. Слава Отцу и Сыну и Святому Духу, и ныне и присно и во веки веков. Аминь. Аллилуйиа. Слава Тебе, Боже.

As ex-singer (Alto) - this is the best choir listening ever made!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Очень понравилось в исполнении этого хора!!! До слез..

Gorgeously velvety with a hint of chocolatey gorgeousness.

Спасибо! Отличное исполнение отличного произведения!

A touch faster than most other versions I've heard before and times I've sung it, but I like it a lot. It has a different presence entirely at speed, especially as it builds... totally oozes worship and devotion.

Bravo! Absolutely magnificent!

божечки ето так прекрасно как я оказался тут?

It really does not sound like just 10 people singing.

Amazing , thats very beautiful singing its like angels singing for the living God

Excellent work, excellent performance. If i would estimate Rahmaninov's musical talent, i would estimate it by his liturgical work and not by his piano works. There is a big difference of melody relating with his piano works and liturgical works. he is really a super talented composer.

Ardderchog - diolch yn fawr iawn Tenebrae!

Hacen todo bien 😍

Bravo!

I'm not going to comment on religious bollocks. But I just wanted to say that I know Rachmaninoff as my favourite romantic era composer. I didn't know he had ecclesiastic work as well. The composition is something I would expect from him. It's nice. It's soulful and emotionally charged. The choir of course is exceptional. Really like these guys.

I suppose the audio is not recorded at the time of the video shooting, right? Choral sounds like 30+ singers, video shows only 10. No mics visible in the video

классно)

Чувствуете Дух Рахманинова?

Isnt there a baritone solo

Всё пытаюсь понять это православный или католический хор?
