This is the livestream for a concert by the Vocal Arts Ensemble of Durham.
Rachmaninoff’s beloved unaccompanied All-Night Vigil from 1915 has been called “the greatest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church.” Inspired to create a work that recovered the true spirit of Orthodox services, Rachmaninoff chose traditional chant melodies in several different styles and enveloped them in wondrously rich harmonies. The work’s 15 movements show a broad variety of complexity and texture, each one bringing to eloquent expression all the drama and nuance inherent in these treasured texts.
