| Palm Sunday is the feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem His voluntary coming to His sufferings and death. He was met as the King and the Lord, but in a few days was sentenced to death and crucified. The hymns in the first part of the CD are dedicated to these events, about which we know from the Gospel.
Recorded in the second part are hymns from the Festal Triodion, i.e. the period of church services from Pascha to the Sunday of All Saints. This will be interesting to the listeners to hear these festive hymns performed with unusual austerity and restraint.
Recorded in St.Nicholas skete of the Valaam Monastery.
