Russian Orthodox Music in 25 words or less

Album: Russian Orthodox Music
Composer:Stravinsky, Rachmaninov, Bortniansky, Tavener, various others
Artist: Tallis Scholars
Conductor: Peter Phillips
Rating: ★★★☆☆

Some styles may not please. Stunning performances of Stravinsky’s “Otce Nash”, Rachmaninov’s “Lord’s Prayer”, Tavener’s “Great Canon”, and Bortniansky’s “Mnogaya Lieta” will.

This had been an incredibly hard to find album, for whatever reason. Recently, it has appeared on Amazon.com and also appears to be available at CD Universe.
