If you like Russian chant, try Rachmaninov's "Vespers" it is the Vespers of Saturday Evening, in Russian of course, and is beautiful.

I've just been listening to some Russian Orthodox chant, and I'm FLOORED by it. It's so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. Can anyone recommend a CD or somewhere I can download more of it?

MP3 archive page


MP3's from the first link on the above page


and lastly, samples from the CDROM page

Also, from the Valaam Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour website

Their CD's (click on the albums for a list of Real Audio samples.

some video and Mp3 samples (4 pages, click the links at the bottom of the page).

Unfortunately it doesn't seem as if you can buy the CD's directly through the monastery online, so if anyone knows an online shop that sells them I too would appreciate them posting it.

I also came across this site -> http://www.musicarussica.com/
