| This recording is dedicated to the 900th anniversary of the Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev. You will hear the Akathist for the Assumption and other hymns performed in the chants of the Laura, which are an example of the combination of the old tradition of singing with folk music, an example of the harmonious system of Orthodox liturgical singing. The recordings on the 2 CDs are melodic pearls in the liturgical necklace of the Laura. They convey the prayerful mood of believers, their striving to ascend from the earthly to the heavenly, from the temporal to the immortal. These hymns are performed with genuine Christian piety and veneration and therefore resound like a hymn of the victory of life over death, light over darkness, good over evil.
This is the first recording made in the reborn Cathedral of the Assumption of the Laura of the Caves in Kiev.
Colour booklet (136 pages) in Russian and English with a short description of the performers and hymns and with the complete text of the Akathist for the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God in Church Slavonic. |
