- The pieces on this recording feature Russian church music composed between 1850 and 1950. It reflects secular and Western influences, particularly that of opera and Romantic music in general. The combination of the traditional Orthodox chant and the Romantic style lends this music a mystical and emotionally heavily loaded atmosphere.
