This is a remarkable 2-CD set, never before available in the US, featuring the superb artistry of Vladimir Gorbik and the Choir of the Moscow Represenation (Metochion) Church of the Holy Trinity-St Sergius Monastery. Recorded live in concert, the performance is as smooth and flawless as the most intricately edited studio recording: every nuance, every shading, every subtlety possible is finely executed here, all within the bounds of a churchly and reverent style. The choice of repertoire is as striking as the choral execution: the first CD presents a stylistically unified array of chant arrangements from the All-Night Vigil by the late Archimandrite Matfey (Mormyl’) and Alexander Kastalsky, the Moscow Synodal School master who inspired him. The second CD is likewise unified, comprised entirely of works by Dcn. Sergius Trubachov (1919-1995), one of the most creative and prolific composers of Russian Orthodox church music in the late 20th century. The slim booklet is in Russian only; titles are given in both Russian and English. This double CD is a “must-have” for all serious lovers of Russian sacred choral music and men’s choirs.--V.M.
