2.0 out of 5 stars fair, but not exceptional, January 18, 2000

This review is from: Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom / Sacred Choral (Audio CD)

Although Tchaikovsky intended his liturgy for church performance, it is given a rather secular performance in this recording. The singing is in tune, but the basses are barely existent and the sopranos are consistently overpowering. Even though the entire liturgy is not complete on this CD, it does, however, feature 7 of Tchaikovsky's "9 Sacred Choral Works" which are not often recorded.

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost unlistenable, April 27, 2000

The reviewer below is much more charitable than I. I found the singing to be overburdened with heavy vibrato, almost to the point of the stereotypically Slavic wobble. I am no fan of boring straight-tone singing, but the chords just don't tune here. The sopranos are far too prominent, but this is probably a combination of the high tessitura and unmusical engineers. Avoid.
