God bless youuu!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the translated titles!!!

Thanks

Let us bow! These chants leave me aching to bow, with my whole body, absorbed in adoration, lost in the ever-renewing Presence of the Sacred.

@@belenrio3170 po. M

May God bless you and carry you home to His loving arms when it’s time for you to go.

See you soon, MacKay.

Happy birthday! I hope you can enjoy your time with your loved ones all your journey until you reach the doors of Heaven.

@@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858 what?

Same beo

And what is that person talking about. We aren’t putting ourselves in any box😂

@@IrishGoat2828 ok, but Church was created by Christ 😆

Rachmaninov?

@@stephenburnage7687 Apparently, even he spelt it the French way, as I wrote above.

I've always gone with either Rachyboy or the Rachster.✊️😎

What the heck is an octavist??

@@djmotise An oktavist is a singer that can sing an octave below the normal bass line.

Thanks for posting this wonderful performance of a powerful work.

I don't care. It is beyond music. God Bless You.

@@colvingenealogy But one should also consider the person who owns the rights to this music. I'd like them to get some income from this.

I subscribe to KZfaq. For me it’s worth the monthly fee instead of being interrupted with advertisements. This music is too dear to the heart to be interrupted.

God Bless you for this act of love! KZfaq is just greedy. I always mute them and wait to skip...this little work isn't too hard. If one is at the computer while listening it's fine. Hehe. I will say though I can't broadcast a vid like this over bluetooth while in the showers because of those commercials; some of them are like hr long vids too i you don't skip but ehh... 1st world problems right? Thank you again kind sir for enhancing my studies of Holy Tradition/Holy Scripture and The Church Fathers! God grant you many years!

There might be life beyond Rachmaninoff's piano- concerti but there's no life beyond Rachmaninoff!

I performed this great work with the NJ Conservatory Chamber Choir in 2019! It was EPIC!!

when the man searches God, i.e., searches the highest value possible in order to worship Him , this result, is expressed partially by art, look at cathedrals, paints, music, etc. However when man does not search God you obtain modern art like a police officer defecating. you can choose, God wants us free, but just use common sense and you will see immediately.

Can you have an effect without a proportionate cause?

There IS A GOD!!!! Make no mistake about it and His Beauty is everywhere, it's in music, nature, in the kindness of your good friends and neighbors.

​​@@luisloya1120and it's in the love you have for your enemies - something that basically doesn't exist in this era. Said that religion is often a catalyst for this hate.

We will be able to thank him in Heaven.

Likewise. During Covid19 times during long covid this piece was the only thing that took me beyond my bare physical.

I wish I could thank him too.

Russian and Bulgarian Orthodox music really moves the soul, regardless of your religious beliefs. The Russian word Bogoslyzhenie really encapsulates the idea of bringing God into the divine liturgy.

@@Musicienne-DAB1995 You are 100 % right

Religion the greatest divider known to mankind despite the amazing music it has provided the world

@@andrewbermingham7581 What an absolute ignorant statement. I can just as easily say it is the greatest thing which has united mankind. Perhaps you mean in the West and in the divide of Protestant Christianity. What fundamental truth which actually underlies and more accurately defines your statement would be, "Values are the greatest divider," in which case is closer to reality. One group of people values one thing over another group. But values exist due to God. Without religion, we have no values. Your values become based off subjective opinion, in which case destroys all values.

@@Thedisciplemike you do you disciple mike

You really need to pray while your listening. The music will amplify your intentions for your loved ones bringing them into reality with them.

@@simonewilliams7224 I think he described prayer pretty well. 💚

Hi Tammy - Any chance you are in California? San Luis Obispo Master Chorale (which I sing in) will be performing this on Sunday 4/21/24 at 3pm at the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center.

@@biofilleaYou are so lucky, what beautiful music.

Agreed.

Indeed.

best bit about it

You should get an adblocker; I'm watching this in Firefox with uBlock Origin and I'm not seeing one single ad.

zirinovskis tell me about it. Looks like KZfaq has alot more ads than it used to and it is annoying!

absolutly right the commercial placemanet is clearly otu from a sic brain

zirinovskis i don’t understand how anyone can think it is ok to interrupt this with adverts. Put them at the beginning. And at the end. Maybe even in between specific stages.... but sudden abrupt interruptions. No. Criminal. Idiots. I can’t listen to it :( I’ll get the cd.

Have you heard the 1965 recording, USSR State Choir conducted by Sveshnikov. >> let me know what you think .

@@PJMPercussion can you please give the link??

@@PJMPercussion Sveshnikov is even better & incredible ! I agree with you.

@@PJMPercussion Sveshnikov has never been surpassed.

@@PJMPercussion great recommendation thank you

Thank you Mrs P

Thanks so much for listing the tracks Mrs Pepperrmint

I heard this live once in a not too big of a hall, it gaves me goosebumps. So powerful

Meant Rachmaninoff/v...Rachmaninov becoming more common now. He chose "ft" ending to appear more European, less Russian.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qL17dJqaxLCuYoE.html

Many Russian composers followed the vein of Russian Orthodox choral music. Tchaikovsky composed Vespers. Bortnyansky's sacred concertos are marvellous.

Yes, and there have been references to Rachmaninoff quoting Vespers in his Symphonic Dances I have read.

Yes! I am so glad that you also noticed it. I enjoy so much more listening to the Dances now when that part carries all this background with it.

Yup. The Symphonic Dances are an autobiography. The first movement has references to the failed First Symphony, etc.

Thanks!

Just skip to end and then replay.

A true miracle, and how this could be performed in such a brilliant way in the 'atheistic' USSR!

@@nes5799 Perhaps it is an example of the fact that the real USSR was not atheistic at all but only the official version. That is a lesson in itself

Rachmaninoff did a lot of composing walking alone in the garden

​@@georgealderson4424 Tbh I think it's a strong case for persecuting Christians. They seem to do their best work (spiritually and musically) as the underdogs, once they get a lick of power they give us Christian rock and Televangelists.

@@Tofu_va_Bien I shouldn't have laughed at that😭

brings bassi profundi to best equation i have ever heard makes me goospimpels

I need these words at this moment and frequently. Thanks be to God

There is no need to do preaching! I am an atheist and I love Vespers! Am I going to Hell? I am quite happy with glorious music and if it is in praise of God so be it.

I should think you should take no issue with Saint Paul's advice then. His words are as sublime as this piece.

Bogoroditse Djévo makes me cry when I hear it.

I was lucky. Some years ago the songs were announced to be in concert close to my city. But I reached the conductor, young and brilliant Fernando Tome, and I joined the choir. Needless to say, it was an amazing experience!

Hello Daniel (and happy new year !), is this one the right one ? www.amazon.com/Rachmaninov-Vespers-Ministry-Culture-Chamber/dp/B000001HC5 Thank you

Well, Rachmaninov didn't go to church either (he almost certainly bribed a priest in order to get married!) if that's any comfort.

@@theKobus man without or poor faith could NEVER compose music like this or his liturgy.....stop blaspheming!

@@danmalic6688 I'm not saying Rachmaninov was not a man of intense personal faith (he obviously was). I'm saying he didn't go to church. BIG difference. PS I recently saw some ikons by Yamashita Rin at an orthodox church here in Japan and they're incredible, look some up, just stunning

yeah, right beside his piano concerts, esp. d-minor op.30, his rhapsody on a Paganini theme, esp. var. 8, 12, 16 etc. his suites, here esp the Tarantella, played by Alexeev & Demidenko, etc etc...

Glad to know I'm not the only one who is very creative intellectually and artistically listening to this man's (God's composer) music!

What is your first volume called? Where can I find it?!

@@tonytalks9070 My first volume is called 'Regen kosmos kamerplant', they're both in Dutch unfortunately. What did you create with the help of this fantastic piece of music?

Daniel Perkins I know right?

don't tell the PUTIN on this contest please

Amen. Thanks be to God

Vous avez trouvé un beau pseudonyme !

your are right, this tune is one of the beste ever, but: please listen to "Vokalensemble SWR2", tuned in 2004 under conducter Creek i cant deside wich tunes are better but the octavists here are realy unbelievebal and wonderfull in the ppp

These were incredibly talented people DESPITE living in the repressive USSR. Read the Gulag Archipelago and reconsider your sentiments.

@@benisrood This version is available on Spotify

René Dessessandre At one time, at least, the Russian immigrant community in New Jersey had a number of them. When Ormandy recorded the Bach b-minor mass, (the then-young) Robert Page (who won a Grammy for chorus prep on that effort) hired them to double the bass parts. They were mixed low enough that they couldn't be heard as a separate part, but they provided a richness to the choral texture that enthused people (he told me this himself). Similarly, one contrabass viol behind the choir playing softly accomplishes the same effect -- the New England Congregational churches kept Prescott busy making what are now called "church basses" (which exploited the same principle. And for that matter, a bass recorder is a ridiculously weak instrument. But when it stops playing, the vitality disappears from the rest of the (recorder) consort.

Pois é, não é? Que prazer encontrar uma conterrânea aqui :)

It is a tricky topic, but there is a limit to how loud the music can be without sacrificing dynamic range. It is important to be faithful to the dynamic differences between the softer and louder pieces. I believe that this upload was made without any changes to the original masters from the CD.

Just turn it up then lmao
