Austere and serene, then masterful and joyous. An intense fusion of profound liturgical texts and traditional melodies that transcend origin, belief and language. Rachmaninov’s Vigil is unquestionably one of the most admired, and impressive, choral works ever written. Rachmaninov composed his ‘All Night-Vigil’ in 1915 with the Russian Revolution rumbling in the background. A classic which continues to captivate hearts and souls, nearly a century after its first performance.
