Firma Melodiya presents a recording of St Matthew Passion (2006), one of the most popular works of Russian academic music of the 21st century composed by Metropolitan Hilarion. In due course, this work will probably take a special place in the history of domestic music, but it has already been a source of inspiration for The Conductor (2012), a motion picture by Pavel Lungin, and performed over fifty times around the world.
Its composer Metropolitan Hilarion (Grigory Alfeyev) is a pries of the Russian Orthodox Church, a theologian and public figure, an author of fundamental studies on religious issues, and a Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Oxford. In 1984 to 1987 he studied at the composition department of the Moscow Conservatory under professor Alexei Nikolayev. Later he left music for an ecclesiastical career, but subsequently returned to composing.
The uniqueness of St Matthew Passion lies in the synthesis of musical traditions of West European baroque where the musical genre of passion sprang from, Orthodox church signing and Russian symphonic music of the 19th and 20th centuries. St Matthew Passion is intended for concert performance, but in the opinion of the musicologist and chancellor of the Moscow Conservatory Alexander Sokolov "this music leads a man to God through knowledge of God, to spiritual through soulful".
The featured recording was made in 2010 by the first performers of the Passion who are the Moscow Synodal Choir led by Alexei Puzakov and the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Fedoseyev with the participation of young vocalists and prize-winners of international competitions Naira Asatrian, Olessya Petrova, Maxim Paster and Dmitri Beloselsky. |

Arrangement by Archimandrite Matthew (Mormyl)
Male choir of the Representation Church of the Laura of the Holy Trinity and St.Sergius in Moscow. Precentor Vladimir Gorbik
This is a recording of Matins of Great Friday performed by the male choir of the Representation Church of the Laura of the Holy Trinity and St.Sergius in Moscow. This service is celebrated in the evening of Great Thursday. You are familiar with it through «The Office of the Passions of the Lord» recorded by the monastic choir of Valaam Monastery. Lovers of church singing are offered a wonderful opportunity to compare these recordings and make certain that though the manner of performance differs, they are equally beautiful.
The performance is so full of feeling that those who cannot be in the church on Great Thursday will feel themselves present.
Colour booklet (8 pages) in Russian and English with a short narration on the service and the choir. |

The Laura of the Caves in Kiev, which arose from a cave in deepforest, has never strived for the honour and recognition of the worldof vanity. On the contrary, it has sought out silence and anonymity, retreating under the earth by having chosen the strictest formof the ascetic life - dwelling in caves. Yet the need for its spirituality was so great that the all-conquering light of the spiritual attainments of the fathers of the Caves in Kiev tore forth from the bowels of the earth and its life-giving streams were poured out upon the surrounding lands, conveying the monastery"s glory to Holy Russia. «The holy monastic abode throughout its long historical path has known much sadness, yet through the intercession of the Most Pure Mother of God and the prayers of the wonderworkers of the Caves it has vanquished all of these troubles… Today, as we reflect upon the fates of the world and our homeland, it is essential to draw strength from thefount of the monastery»s spirituality, study the life and way of salvation of the holy saints of the Caves, to call upon their aid and wisdom. The grace of this source will never dry up for ages, as the beneficence of the Mother of God towards her gracious garden on earth - the holy monastery of the Caves in Kiev - will never dry up…", werethe words dedicated to the 950th anniversary of the Laura by Metropolitan Vladimir of Kiev and All Ukraine, the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the holy archimandrite of the Holy Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev.
Recorded in the Church of Ss Anthony and Theodosius of the Caves of the Holy Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev
