With Richard Baker. Ten years ago, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrated its millennium. During that 1,000 years, the music of the Church has been created and re-created to reflect the changing cultural and political context of the times.

Grechaninov and Rachmaninov, in his
Vespers, created their own romantic vision of this ancient tradition.
