Georgy Sviridov, a leading composer of the late Soviet era in Russia, wrote a good deal of religious music, influenced by the Russian Orthodox legacy and by sacred works. The last years of Soviet rule saw a relaxation of official atheism, and these works earned Sviridov critical acclaim. Indeed, Sviridov greeted the Perestroika era and the impending fall of the Soviet Union with trepidation, and annotator Alexander Belonenko does well to compare the music here to Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil, written in 1915 in a similar period of instability. (The Red Easter, however, refers not to Communism but to texts printed in red in an Orthodox liturgy.) Sviridov's a cappella sacred music has a different effect than Rachmaninov's; he uses less of the sub-bass sounds of the Russian tradition. But his harmonic practice is in the same realm, extended a bit. The sound of the Latvian Radio Choir under Sigvards Klava is well suited to Sviridov's lighter, rather mystical idiom. Another point of interest in the music is that these Canticles and Prayers were part of a larger projected 56-section work. Sviridov never finished this, but he assembled completed sections into larger groupings as he went along, and that's what you hear here. Most of the music shares a moderate tempo, but sample the joyous Glory for an idea of how he was thinking on a larger scale. Recommended for lovers of the Russian choral school.–James Manheim
