Unlike in his Chrysostom liturgy op. 31, Sergei Rachmaninow used old monophonic chants of the Russian Orthodox Church for his All-Night Vigil op. 37. However, the composer formed this material according to late-romantic sound ideas and also used a freer handling of compositional techniques and timbres.

As part of the Rachmaninow series, CARUS presents the WDR Rundfunkchor, conducted by Nicolas Fink, with an excellent recording of this masterpiece of late romantic choral music.
