| St.Daniel"s Monastery is the eldest monastery in Moscow. It was founded by Prince Daniel of Moscow in 1282. In the 1930s it was closed and returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1980s. It was at this time that there was a revival of the monastery"s singing tradition.
The monastic choir beautifully sings church hymns and arrangements of old chants at divine services and performs in concerts of religious music. One such concert was given by the choir in the Rachmaninov Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire in 1990. This recording is unique, as the choir sings with the same spiritual enthusiasm with which Orthodox Christians celebrated the Millennium of the Baptism of Russia.
Colour booklet (16 pages) in Russian and English with detailed programme, the history of the Monastery and some information about the choir. |
