Directed by Matthew Best

The Corydon Singers' recording of Rachmaninov's Vespers is extremely moving and beautifully sung. Conducted by Matthew Best with soloists Joya Logan, alto and John Bowen, tenor, it is an outstanding version. The choir has a very warm and rich sound, especially from the basses. This piece requires an enormous range of color from the more introverted 'Blagoslovi, dushe moya' to the wildly joyful 'Khvalite imya Gospodi.' This performance is one of the finest interpretations of this piece.
