Sacred Treasures - Choral Masterworks from Russia

Sacred Treasures: Choral Masterworks From Russia Composer: Anonymous, Dimitry Stepanovich Bortnyansky, et al. Conductor: Georgi Robev, Nikolai Matveyev, et al. Audio CD (February 17, 1998) Number of Discs: 1 Label: Hearts of Space Rip 320 kbs Covers included Although this collection intends to transport the soul, it has a tremendously potent low-end depth to it that earns high marks indeed in the worlds of vocal and liturgical music. Dmitri Bortniansky's "Hymn of the Cherubim" is performed with a gracefulness that gets a warming fatness from the production, as does Alexander Gretchaninov's "I Have Chosen the Blissful," which travels with a ringing resonance. In a year of fine choral works--check out Sequentia's Hildegard cycle box, 900 Years or Arvo Pärt's Kanon Pokajanen for a "something old, something new" mix--this collection is highly valued for its sonic integrity and its excellent anthological mix Tracklist: 1.

Excellent. Thank you.

@frankBIG
Track 1 was somehow combined with track 2 during the ripping process. In any case, the complete CD audio is on this torrent. Nothing is missing. Cheers.

I guess track No. 1 is still missing, as they start singing already in the first minute of the track No. 2, just a little bit of bells there.

Thanks for this, My poor CD is scratched to hell and gone. Track 1 and 2 are in 2. Track 1 is only bells and about 15-20 seconds long, track 2 is 3.48 mins, so that's why 2 is longer in this download, they're together.
