"We Hymn Thee" Rachmaninov - Sretensky Monastery Choir 

I sit here 1+ years into a military conflict in the Ukraine rooted in aggression started many years before that and from beyond Ukraine’s borders. If the combatants on all sides had the chance to absorb the beauty of music such as this, perhaps they would refuse to be driven by the people exploiting them.

This doesn't sound like heaven, this is heaven

Without a doubt Rachmaninov´s mind vibrated on a heavenly frequency....

If the German masters could scale the heights of music, then the Russian masters could surely plumb the depths. Magnificent.

Imagine arriving at the gates of heaven and the voice of an angel calls you to ascend the stairway of light to that most blissful and ethereal place of the afterlife, while that magnificent bassundo profundo closes the gates behind you at the end!

I'm Japanese. 🇯🇵I like this piece of music I hope for world peace. With Jesus Christ.✝️✨

So wunderbar gesungen... Vielen Dank! 🙏🙏 Welch begnadete Stimmen - die Sopranistin, der Chor, besonders die unglaublich tiefen Bässe. Durch die sehr ruhige Darbietung ein Gefühl großen Friedens. 🙏✨✨🙏🙏

Это шедевр музыкального искусства: и со стороны композитора, и со стороны исполнителей!!!! Браво!!!

Тебе поем (воспеваем), Тебе благо словим, Тебе благодарим, Господи, и молим Ти ся, Боже наш

Did this woman embody the voice of an angel? it is not possible for someone to reach this level of tuning like this.

The utter rendition I have heard of this hymne. Bravo!

Another example of Rachmaninov's beautiful heaven sent writing. The few dressed in black cassocks also give its fine religious atmosphere.

Even me, as a non religious person, got mesmerized by these amazing voices.

A glorious Mezzo Soprano with a full rounded & warm voice. Simply Devine. Thank you

This MUST be heaven! ❤️

Слава Богу!

Inna's dress is ethereal--a perfect fit for her performance!

Stunning performance! Heavenly!!!

I cannot bring myself to stop listening to this music, particularly where the soprano begins to sing........

Čista uzvišena lepota muzike , naš predivni Gospod koji nam šalje kroz ove vrhunske talente svoju beskrajnu ljubav i radost .

Heavenly Thankyou from Tasmania

What an astoundingly beautiful piece. The male voices, specifically the baritones, vibrate and blend beautifully with the melody.

this is it, this is the soul

Heart rendering! Such sublime, deep reverence, passion and supplication. Out of this World!

Beloved Stretenskyi Monastery, they sang Bozhe Tsarya Khranii for Mother on her 100th Birthday.

I don't think I ever saw a conductor so expressive in his movements . He is gently shepherding the sound of the choir's voices ; or maybe I don't always pay attention .

Diese Musik ist ein Geschenk des Himmels. This music is a gift from heaven.

That ending was something!

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece!! This is real food for the soul. The participation of the soprano, with her clean sweet voice was a touch of genius.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on me, Amen. O Lord, You who steadied the hand of Peter as he began to sink on the stormy sea, if you are with me, no one is against me. Grant to me the shield of faith and the mighty armour of the Holy Spirit to protect me and guide me to do Your will. The future I put into Your hands, O Lord, and I follow You to a life in Christ. Amen. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, now and forever and unto the ages of ages, Amen.

It's weird that Snoop's ad for Grubhub is what RU-vid paired with this video, but I'm still glad to be here.

Глибоке і усвідомлене виконання. Щира подяка всім хористам і керівникам. Божого благословення і творчих здобутків...

this is breathing the very essence of human kind. Discovery, sharing, giving. thank you all !

Soprano - Inna Demenkova, to my mind

Heavenly melody!

So uplifting and moving. Many thanks for your work you put into sharing these gems!

Космос какой то!!!!Браво!!!!!!!

Simplesmente sublime.

Just pure feelings…. To the soul!

This is so beautiful! My heart is trembling.....

Sheer perfection! Says it all from this channel.

unfassbar schön.

Absolutely beautiful, truly beautiful

really sublime... a dream !

Would love the words translated into English. Absolutely gorgeous

Oh my GOD! If someone were to ask me what the voice of God sounds like, that penultimate chord would be it.

Proof, once again, that in this sometimes terrible world there is still beauty.

If this is what heaven sounds like, I hope to hear it live.

Dásamlegt! ...in Icelandic, means Beautiful! Thank you !

Breathtaking! This is an angels s choir!

La Madre Rusia en todo su esplendor. Un saludo desde Madrid.

Heavenly!!!!

Bravo!

J'offre à notre chère Reine Elisabeth cette montée vers les cieux : I offer to queen Elisabeth this marvellous lift towards heaven .

Geniaal, dank je

The ending is the best part

Transliterated and translated: Grace ‘a Steve K. below Tebye poyem (we praise Thee) Tebye poyem (we praise Thee) Tebye blagoslovim (we bless Thee) Tebye blagodarim, Gospodi (we give thanks unto Thee, O Lord) i molim (and we pray) i molim Ti sya (and we pray unto Thee) i molim Ti sya (and we pray unto Thee) i molim Ti sya, Bozhe Nash (and we pray unto Thee, O our God).

The sound resonates in my chest.

‘Heaven on Earth’

❤

beautiful!

❤‍🔥

Fantastico,commovente,bravi,bravi,bravi.

Splendid performance. Can you give us the name of the excellent soprano soloist?

Sublime.

Heaven on earth...

Не только Вадик Зарипов там октаву поет. Ещё Костя Медведев и Володя Семечев.

Are you guys sure she's a soprano? Voice sounds a little heavier to me. Excellent regardless.

So GRIM & MELANCHOLY!

Неплохая басовая группа .

Indescribable!

3:13 bass !

Where did you find this recording?

Cudownie się słucha . Tylko po co ta kobieta stoi na scenie?

I prefer the Kovcheg Emsemble's version personally. This feels a little slow and misses some of the most beautiful harmonies in the mix.

Do we like a good bass??

This is not just an "haunting performance." This is how Russians experience communion with God in their soul. However, Russian culture and Russian mentality, are too high for many Western commentators to understand.

I wonder how many views I have personally contributed to this video?

Eu sou ateu, não acredito em bobagens divinas, mas estes cânticos possuem uma grande beleza.

There's nothing 'haunting' here... simply brilliance and beauty. Glory to Jesus! He is the Victor! (And an exquisite evidence that communism in all it's bravado could not 'kill God!')

Does anyone have the Opus number or title of the work this piece is from?

Is aoibhinn liom é seo

Hearing this makes me forget how bad and stupid the world and the society are

I've got to stop watching this stuff - I'll drown!

Rusi umelci

Brigidooooo hueon

Too much background noise

Get out of Ukraine

When you listen to this you can empty your mind of everything and be absorbed into a state of bliss.

Sublime

Breathless! Just takes you into another world.

ВЕЛИКИЙ РАХМАНИНОВ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Я не могу сдержать слёз !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was healed by the beautiful sound of the chorus. People all of the world want to be healed.
