Complete Original Choral Works and Selected Russian Folksong Arrangements

Academy of Russian Music Chamber Choir, Ivan Nikiforchin

De weinige maar uitstekende orkestwerken van Anatoly Liadov zijn langzaam maar gestaag echte concertfavorieten geworden, zelfs buiten Rusland. Zijn koormuziek blijft echter zo goed als onbekend: Ten onrechte! Zijn religieuze gezangen, volksliedarrangementen en originele composities bevestigen Liadovs status als een soort "Fabergé van de muziek": ze combineren verfijnd vakmanschap en delicate schoonheid.

"The music itself is generally outstanding, and the performances here by the Academy of Russian Music Chamber Choir are quite superlative. Choral singing doesn’t really get any better than this, and the recording itself is also of demonstration quality...This is a fabulous disc which deserves to be hugely Successful, and I recommend it unreservedly to anyone interested in choral music, in Russian music, or in music in general.
