Sergei Rachmaninoff: All-Night Vigil, op. 37

In the approximately thousand-year history of Russian church music, which came to an abrupt, almost violent end with the October Revolution of 1917, Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil (The Great Morning and Evening Praise), Op. 37 is often seen as the crowning achievement. In the West, the All-Night Vigil, like Rachmaninoff's operas and songs, remains overshadowed by his piano and orchestral works due to the language barrier. May this edition contribute to the discovery of the vocal composer Rachmaninoff all over the world.
