Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil

свѣте тихꙑи свѧтꙑѧ славꙑ беꙁсъмрьтнаего отьца
небесьнаего свѧтаего блаженнаего іисꙋсе христе
пришедъше на ꙁападъ слъньца видѣвъше свѣтъ вечерьнꙑи
поемъ отьца сꙑна и свѧтаего дꙋха бога
достоинъ еси во вьсѧ времена пѣтъ бꙑти гласꙑ преподобьнꙑми
сꙑне божии животъ даѧи тѣмъже миръ тѧ славитъ

Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil

Sublime!

Saturday Evening Music: Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor

Today we head over to Russia to hear, what I think is, one of the greatest pieces of all time.  Rachmaninoff, like Chopin, was a master at his craft.  He brought a strong Russian theme to his work and this is prevalent in the piece below.

Enjoy your Saturday night with Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor!
