This beautiful CD features sacred choral works composed by Russian composers in the emigration, performed and recorded in their homeland, many of them for the very first time. The current CD features the choir of the Minsk Theological College, directed by Olga Yanum, who received high marks for her conducting on the second CD in the series. The singing on this CD is every bit as exquisite! To the prolific composers already represented on earlier CDs—Gardner, Kedroff, Konstantinov, Kovalevsky, Ledkovsky—are added works by previously unheard composers—Ivan Liamine, Mikhail Ossorguine, and the first woman composer to be featured in the series, Helen Benigsen. These well-produced, well-researched, limited-edition CDs become collectors’ items as soon are they are released. Don’t miss this opportunity to acquaint yourself further with the rich heritage of sacred music produced by indefatigable and faithful Russian emigres in the most adverse circumstances. As in all previous CDs in the series, notes and titles are given in Russian and English.--V.M.
