Digital Booklet
|
This album presents a sequel for the award-winning album (ICMA Choral disc of the year) of Tchaikovsky’s sacred choral works by the Latvian Radio Choir and conductor Sigvards Klava. These two albums together form the composer’s complete sacred works for the choir. The "All-Night Vigil Op. 52" for mixed choir, also known as the "Vesper Service", was written between May 1881 and March 1882. It was first performed by the Chudovsky Chorus conducted by Pyotr Sakharov in Moscow at the concert hall of the "All-Russian Industrial" and "Art Exhibition" on 27 June 1882. Tchaikovsky described the work as ‘An essay in harmonization of liturgical chants.’
For this work the composer carefully studied the tradition of musical practice in the Russian Orthodox Church, which could vary considerably from one region to another. This beautiful, yet rarely recorded work is accompanied by four other choral works all written during the same decade: "Hymn in Honour of Saints Cyril and Methodius" as part of commemorations of the 1000th anniversary of the death of Saint Methodius, A Legend, originally coming from the collection "Sixteen Songs for Children, Jurists’ Song", for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Imperial School of Jurisprudence in St Petersburg, and "The Angel Cried Out", a beautiful traditional Russian Orthodox Easter hymn and Tchaikovsky’s final choral work.
