I used to live in the United States and regularly recorded Choral Evensong from the Beeb. By chance, this afternoon I happened upon one of these recordings, this one made in September, 2005. This was CE from Moscow - The Exaltation of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross from the Danilov Monastery.
I very much enjoyed listening to this at the time and thoroughly enjoyed it again today. Remarkably disciplined unaccompanied singing from a first rate choir - is there something in the local water that produces those wonderful Russian basses? - and a very attractive if brief alternative to our usual Evensong. I wonder if Aunty has any plans to repeat this wonderful broadcast?
