Tchaikovsky: Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, Op. 41 USSR Ministry of Culture State Chamber Choir, Valery Polyansky

Tchaikovsky was genuinely interested in the ceremony of orthodox service and ideas of Christianity. In early 1878, he was captivated with the idea of writing a cycle of choruses to the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. The work has been performed as part of the liturgy and in the concert hall. This recording was made in the Assumption Cathedral of Smolensk.
