Rachmaninov
Rachmaninov - Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom
Choir of King's College, Cambridge / Cleobury
EMI 557 6772

Release date March 2004

A few lines to welcome the follow-up to EMI's highly successful set of the Rachmaninov Vespers made in King's College, Cambridge. If you don't mind trading weight of sonority and adult female voices for perfect tuning and somewhat chaste manners - and on the whole I don't - this is for you. Stephen Johns' production provides plenty of impact while creating a strong sense of the building.
