Vocal ensemble Chanticleer performs Sergei Rachmaninoff's 'Bogoroditse Devo' in its holiday program, 'A Chanticleer Christmas' (recorded live Dec. 7, 2018).
This is not the sound I was expecting from Chanticleer... I've heard hundreds of performances of this piece in the last 20 years, but this may be my favorite. Absolutely stunning.
I love Chanticleer, have since I first heard them perform for some school kids in 1984. Got to hear three of their classical performances after that. What a beautiful perfect blending of voices they have always had....so grateful for you in this world.
Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of God, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thee among women, and blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb, for Thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls.
Exquisite and nourishing! 🙏🏻❤️ Cathedral of St. Paul. Can someone please give more reference? I have attended the Cathedral of St. Paul, MN, USA. Thank you.
Богородице, Дево, радуйся, Благодатная Мария, Господь с тобою. Благословенна ты в женах, И благословен плод чрева твоего, Яко Спаса родила еси душ наших. (for RUS) (Я устал, но я не сдаюсь)
Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of God, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thee among women, and blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb, for Thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls.
@@ЗепБранниган Да, для иностранцев, поющих русскую музыку, это очень хорошо, и если не видишь картинку, создаётся впечатление, что это смешанный состав, поэтому я так и скаламбурил...
Wow. Absence of the Orthodox idiom entirely. Lots of vibrato. No bass. Check out the choirs from Eastern Europe and Russia, available on youtube. The National Academic Choir of Ukraine account and the version by the USSR Ministry of Chamber Choir are sublime. An amazing recording with Robert Shaw and the Shaw Festival Singers is an American account with stunningly rich and disciplined singing.
@@MaTi2299 That group simply doesn't have any oktavists. Recording quality has.nothing to do with not hearing low pitch singers: the recording can lack the fundamental frequencies and still the listener can still hear the pitch from the higher harmonics present.
