Programme Note
Music from the Russian Orthodox Church is at the heart of this programme from the Joyful Company of Singers, conducted by Peter Broadbent. 100 years ago Rachmaninov composed one of his favourite compositions, and perhaps his finest, in his ‘All-Night Vigil’ (often referred to as ‘Vespers’).
