The beautiful Sacred Treasures: Choral Masterpieces From Russia assembles a variety of performances from Russian and Bulgarian choirs interpreting the music of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Sung by the finest Russian and Bulgarian choirs, this extraordinary collection of transcendent prayers and hymns highlights a timeless Russian tradition of faith and devotion. For sheer beauty, there is little to match it anywhere in the world. The solemn ecstasy in the music of the Russian Orthodox Church can trace its roots back to the earliest days of Christian worship, via the great Byzantine Empire of the Near East. It presents an uncompromising search for peaks and depths of expressive fervor, aloof from all gimmicks. That was true of the music's multi-cultural roots as monastic chant, and was maintained as it evolved into full choral harmony in the late Romantic period. 

Produced by Ellen Holmes - following upon her much-loved 1987 Hearts of Space radio show “Music from a Russian Cathedral”.
