The undeniable vulnerability of the human spirit, in our attempts to understand life and its mysteries, is beautifully reflected in this timeless, ghostly, a capella choral music. Revealing the deepest passions of composers such as Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Gretchaninov and more, the emotional performance by this award-winning choir will leave you speechless. Just as archaeologists go digging for the physical remnants of the lives and histories that preceded us, this music is the living, breathing artifact that embodies the visions and dreams of our past. \"The Kyiv chamber choir has only 20 singers, but what singers they are - big, marvelously focused voices, the kind that might easily hold their own on the opera stage but without the kind of operatic vibrato that can make an ensemble rattle, wrote Washington Post reviewer Joan Reinthaler following their performance at the George Mason Arts Center. \"They can sing wonderfully clean unison and the basses have low E's to die for,\" she added. The Kyiv Chamber Choir was founded in 1990. Choir members include professional singers, graduates of conservatories throughout Ukraine. The choir major awards include: Golden Diploma on the First R.Schumann Competition in Zwikkau (Germany, 1992) First Award at the Twelfth International Church Music Festival in Hajnuwka (Poland, 1993) Grand Prix at the Sixth International Choral Festival in Sligo (Ireland, 1993) Second Award at Langolen International Musical Eisteddfod (Wales, 1994) Grand Prix at the XX International Church Music Festival and more_____ You can listen this album online on http:\/\/www.origenmusic.com\/kyivchamberchoir1.html or preview the album at Amazon MP3 Store","brand":"Origen Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53514498179414,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_4601684009783_1.jpg?v=1783373459","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/chamber-choir-kyiv-praise-the-lord-russian-sacred-music-of-the-late-19th-and-early-20th-century-4601684009783","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
