Rachmaninoff - Vespers (All Night Vigil)

Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vespers, or All-Night Vigil, is a passionately spiritual synthesis of the Russian composer's dazzling harmonies and the traditional Byzantine chants of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Guild Chorus sings the work unaccompanied, in the original Slavonic.

Pre-concert lecture by Elena Sharkova,
Director of Choral Activities, San Jose State University.
