Rachmaninoff's Vespers | New Mexico Symphonic Chorus
Rachmaninoff, Vespers
Roger Melone, conductor
Eric Parker, tenor
This performance marks another milestone in the choral
repertoire, the 100th anniversary of Rachmaninoff's
Vespers, a work the composer himself thought was
one of his best. History later considered Vespers a final
magnificent tribute to the music of the Russian Orthodox
Church before the revolution. The premiere was March
10, 1915, in the Great Nobility Hall of the Kremlin. It
was such a success, that five previously unscheduled
performances were given shortly thereafter. Since 1957,
the work has been performed regularly on the eve of
Rachmaninoff's birth in the Church of the Joy and All
Sorrowful in Moscow.
