Rachmaninoff Vespers [2004]
Rachmaninoff’s setting of the vigil was written in 1915, in the middle of the First World War. “Even in my dreams I could not have imagined that I would write such a work” he told singers at the first performance in March of the same year.
The professional Chamber choir, Tenebrae, characteristically create an atmosphere of spiritual and musical reflection at their performances, using candlelight and movement within ecclesiastical venues. This performace was recorded live as part of the North Wales International Music Festival in St. Asaph Cathedral on 24th September 2004
