"Recording of the Month ... a sublimely beautiful yet rapturous recording." - Gramophone "The relaxed tempi and beautifully modulated sound all have a cumulative effect which is life enhancing ... put your feet up, pour a glass of port, close your eyes and tell me there’s somewhere else you’d rather be." - MusicWeb International "Five Stars. The range of dynamics, honoured by first-rate production, is stunning ... layering always impresses, especially in the balance between vibrant, human alto lines and seraphic sopranos ... a remarkable achievement." - BBC Music Magazine "Five Stars ... exceptionally silky in its tonal qualities, beautifully and unhurriedly sung ... these 25 singers outdo themselves in a performance of clarity and genuine affection ... no matter how many of these you have, this is one you must have." - Audiophile Audition This critically-praised recording of Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil from the Latvian Radio Choir directed by Sigvards Kļava features an uplifting performance of spiritual strength; a supreme example of choral writing at its finest. As instruments were proscribed by Church law, the work was composed for unaccompanied voices but Rachmaninov created music of such richness that it could be described as "choral orchestration."
