Capriccio, 1995 Mystery of the East: Music from Russian Churches and Monasteries An excellent recording-with exception of the engineering. Having attended a concert of choral music from the Ukraine, I find this recording faithfully follows all the whisper quiet to needing earplugs in your ears volume.

Dg Imports, 1988 The best of russian folk music Really a classic, a must-have. Some people say that russian music is gloomy, but for me it's more likely to be spiritual or even a joyous proclamation of the glory of God through Nature. This cd contains, along with some not-so-familiar songs, the most famous folk songs, as Black Eyes (Otchii Chorniye), the green grass (Kalinka), The Volga Boat's Men Song, Stenka Razyn, etc.             Orthodox Chants Anonymous, Bulgarian Anonymous, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 So many decades wasted in clandestine spirituality This is a selection of 18th-20th century liturgical compositions by various Russian composers. It reflects the captured glory of the Saint Petersburg imperial court, and a few decades after its fall in 1917, under and after the musical revolution brought about by the very productive Dimitri Bortnianski.
