| The cradle of Russian monasticism – the Holy Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev has been revived after almost thirty years of desolation. Not only the beginners have come to the cloister opened anew, but also the old Laura monks with their deep praying experience and knowledge of traditions have returned there. The brethren strive to renew and preserve centuries-old traditions of the Laura of the Caves in Kiev worship singing that gives the Laura Devine services special solemnity and beauty.
The monastic choir has been invited to religious celebrations and festivals of church singing for many times. The chants presented on this CD are melodic pearls in the Laura worship necklace, and they convey prayerful mood of a believer.
