Rachmaninov Cello Sonata in G minor
All Night Vigil (Vespers)
The soaring melodies and gorgeous harmonies of Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata come from the same rich vein as his incredibly popular Second Piano Concerto, whilst the Vespers show a compositional genius at the height of his powers. In these fifteen short movements he transforms the plainchant melodies of the Orthodox Church into an incredible symphony of choral writing, offering staggering textural intricacy and emotional power.
