The Russian Patriarchate Choir directed by Anatoly Grindenko - Russian Easter Liturgy The Easter Canon Of St John Damascene 17th Century

Review by Markus Zimmerman

The Russian Easter Liturgy album by the Russian Patriarchate Choir, directed by Anatoly Grindenko, is a masterpiece of choral music. The Easter Canon of St John Damascene, composed in the 17th century, is a powerful and moving piece of liturgical music that tells the story of Christ's resurrection.

The choir's performance is flawless, with each voice blending together to create a rich and harmonious sound. The soloists are particularly impressive, with their hauntingly beautiful voices soaring above the choir.

The album is recorded in a reverberant and spacious acoustic, which adds to the grandeur and majesty of the music. The listener is transported to a Russian Orthodox church, with the choir filling the space with their heavenly voices.
