Surprisingly gently and, at the same time, powerfully – literally from the very first minutes you feel how the music... spaces you out, apparently. Possibly, it is partly due to the fact that the core consists of pieces performed by female choirs – it is special energy that is even more palpable against the background of mixed choirs' performance. There is certain magic akin to the content of genuine, deep lullabies – although, sure, in this case the music is more sophisticated, and it is not limited to the "mother/child" vector at all. The emotional palette is very diverse, from the quiet waters of a prayer – and to the disturbing confrontation with the violent world of passions. Add here interesting harmonic solutions, references to pre-Christian motifs, a series of Balkan songs' arrangements – right, true fire sounds here sometimes, as if tamed – but, in fact, free... Actually, the album as a whole leaves the impression of openness – to all winds, ready to follow one's path – fearlessly. Because inside there is that authentic thing that turns a person into – a creator.

It is not a simple collection of musical compositions which would show the performer’s art, it is the whole mythological and philosophical conception of creation and development, life, death and rebirth presented in musical form.

..In the Liturgy of Peace the Greek Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom in the Church-Slavonic language is dressed by the author in the melodies of ancient Gregorian chorals with minimal adaptation of harmonious methods. That way, the Liturgy of Peace creates a musical synthesys of both cultures: firstly, and again the meeting of western and eastern liturgical traditions..

The creative method of the Ensemble is peculiar for each singer is both – a soloist and a choirmaster. Such a combination of brilliant vocal qualities with high professional skills makes it possible for a small group of the singers to make the largest concert halls full of sound and, unlike other artistic groups, to create the various ranges of programs..

This album is a pilgrimage in singing. The chorus pilgrims, when traveling in the Holy Land, recorded various parts of the worship service in Bethlehem, Galilee, and Nazareth. And thus lots of the chants on this disk were recorded exactly where the events they are narrating about took place.

What should one expect from an album dedicated to the Holy Resurrection? This piece by AghiaDimitra choir is dominated by – joy. Perhaps, it should be noted that the joy is profound. Not only in terms of authenticity, but also in terms of the spectrum range, with a bunch of shades, overtone...

This is the first album in the discography of AghiaDimitra choir, and listening to it is worth it anyway, because the collective is interesting. But try listening keeping this in mind: the recording was made in April 2016 – although the first rehearsal of the choir had taken place only on March 22, i.e. just about a month before..

The theme of Christmas is actually gratifying, it is one of the most clear and joyful Christian holidays. But these chants – unlike, say, Christmas carols – reveal a somewhat different type of joy. Quiet, enlightened – as if one stands in the face of our familiar world and sees traits not subject to time or darkness manifesting through it.

Singing of Lavra monks attracts even people far from orthodoxy – they come to listen to it because real beauty never tolerates limitations. The four albums represented on this disc (the fifth one is rather a collection, though not less beautiful) – are only a small part, certainly. Nevertheless, they are, probably, among the best ones – however, make sure yourself.
