Only two Russian Orthodox composers have set the full wedding service to music--Kastalsky and his Moscow Synodal School colleague, Alexander Nikolsky. In this landmark recording, the extraordinary Domestik Choir, one of the finest professional choirs in Russia today, presents Kastalsky's music in all its exquisite beauty and subtlety. Contemporaries referred to Kastalsky as a "Russian Palestrina" and hailed him as the developer of a new style in Russian liturgical choral music. Indeed, his works may not offer the same "immediate gratification" as those of, say, Chesnokov or Gretchaninoff, but this recording masterfully demonstrates the riches and depths they hold for those willing to make the effort to explore them. Notes and titles are in Russian and English; no text translations are given.--V.M.
