Recommend Outstanding Russian Choral Music


This music, usually performed by the Russian Military Chorus, knocks my socks off!

Purchased the soundtrack from "The Peacemaker" movie but found no full-length works.

Also some good tidbits in "The Hunt for Red October".

Can any comrade out there direct me to the good stuff?

The Rachmaninov Vespers is a fantastic work, particularly when sung by a Russian choir (typically, they have fantastic basses).  I also like Rachmaninov's Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.  Another great Russian composer of acapella choir music is Grechaninov.  He too has a work titled Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and another called Liturgy of Holy Week (Passion Week), that are great works.
