about

"The ritual of the Eastern Orthodox Church derives much of its awesome splendor from the ancient chants and folklore of the Slavic peoples. Within the setting of the Service this music reflects profound piety, souring exultation and an almost unbelievable mystical lyricism. ... In the present recording the Ensemble examines various directions in Orthodox Church singing at the end of the last century and the beginning of the current century." - from the original liner notes
