Alexander Grechaninov: All-Night Vigil
Latvian Radio Chorus, Sigvards Klava
The choral singing is ideally balanced, full of nuance. None of the climaxes sound forced or overbearing...listening to the piece in toto in one sitting provides an immensely satisfying experience.

About
With this new album the award-winning Latvian Radio Choir conducted by Sigvards Klava is turning its attention to the music of Alexander Grechaninov (1864–1956), one of the masters of Russian liturgic music. Grechaninov’s All-Night Vigil is a fitting continuation to the choir’s albums of sacred music by Sergey Rachmaninov and Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Together with the two latter names, Grechaninov’s All-Night Vigil belongs to the central repertoire of Russian liturgic music.
