There is literally nothing on earth like this extremely rare choir. I am a retired cathedral choirmaster, organist, composer, teacher and violist. I have dreamed all my life to hear such a choir. I am so proud of this group and proud of their work. Blessings and long life from a humble musician here in California, USA.
Hi, thank you so, so much for the wonderful words! We are wondering if we might be able to share your praise on our social media? If so, if you wouldn't mind sharing your first name and last name (or last initial) with us. Feel free to email us or contact us through our website about this if you'd prefer - thanks!
True, man. I'm not a religious person, so there isn't a sentimental or spiritual value for me in this music. I am not a connoisseur of choir music, but after listening to the album, i went looking for the songs in other versions and nothing comes even close to the heights these professionals elevated these pieces. But there's no denying it, they achieve the goal of making you feel something holy listening to it.
This is an absolutely unique project! That's a confirmation, that people in the world have to live peacefully! These 55 singers have been gathered from 5 countries: Russia, the United States, Serbia, Canada, Australia!
Спасибо большое за столь тëплые слова! С уважением, художественный руководитель и главный дирижëр Международного Мужского Хора института PaTRAM, Владимир Горбик.
Это абсолютно уникальный проект! Свидетельством того, что мы все должны жить в мире, является то, что среди 55 певцов здесь собраны люди из ряти стран: Россия, США, Сербия, Канада и Австралия!
Уважаемый Владимир Александрович, здравствуйте! С большим удовольствием посмотрел ваше исполнение в ролике. Хотел бы выразить свою благодарность за ваше искусство и мастерство в руководстве хором. Ваша работа впечатляет и оставляет глубокий след в душе. Желаю вам дальнейших творческих успехов!
музыка для души, I simply cannot get enough of listening to this choir and this recording, I often listen to this on "repeat". It is a blessing to be able to access this music. Maybe one day I will be able to listen to a live performance. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you, Augusto, for your interest. Regrettably, a live performance is extremely difficult in today's COVID environment. All countries have some level of restrictions for live choral singing. However, if you subscribe to our mailing list on our website, www.patraminstitute.org, you'll get notifications of all that we do including any public performances.
Al di là della performance musicale, del tutto spettacolare, ci sono altre cose che mi lasciano rapito. Una città piccola, molto più di Napoli, che ha una simile sala da concerto nel suo conservatorio, il pubblico, composto, attento, competente ; i bambini, anche piccolissimi, che restano buoni, zitti e seduti ascoltando e la reazione del pubblico tutto all'inizio quando entra il Patriarca. Quale universo ci separa da persone così? Noi, con la vergogna di un vaticano ormai sdraiato alla cultura gender, con la massa ignorante e prona al vuoto di spettacolini per depensanti ..... Quale è mai questo universo ?? Lunga vita alla cultura ed alla dignità del popolo Russo.
К сожалению в русском православии сейчас такой же если не более глубокий кризис и годы советской власти сильно отразились на отношении к религии среди русского народа

We think you're speaking of the Kursk Root Icon which accompanied the choir at this performance. You can read about its history here: www.eadiocese.org/kurskrooticon. There are many different icons representing the Mother of God (Most Holy Theotokos), each with its own unique history and characteristics. You can read about them here: orthodoxwiki.org/Icons_of_the_Theotokos
