I've watched this I-don't-know-how-many times, but only today did I notice that at least one of the women, far left, appears to be far along in pregnancy. And what a memory it brought back. Forty years ago, my wife (who bore no small resemblance to this woman) and I got to sing the Verdi Requiem while she was nine months pregnant. She's gone now, a victim of ovarian cancer, but the memory is not. This piece has been a balm for my soul from the first time I sang it years ago; that brief visual, in the midst of the glorious performance, makes it even more so. Deep thanks to all involved in making this happen.
I especially like this recording. The second bass line is unusually well balanced with the other voices so that one can fully appreciate the low Notes and especially the low B. That is so quintessential to sacred Russian choral music.
Yale Choral Artists under Jeffrey Douma captured the Russian sound beautifully. This is a wonderful recording of "Salvation is Created". I think it was Jeffrey Douma who also conducted the choir of Luther College in a live end-of-year concert with graduates of the choir joining in "O Lord God" by Chesnokov in a memorable video.

The bass in this is sick!
That would be Glenn Miller. He's a professional oktavist that YCA hires on occasion.
Everything. The bass part is everything. 🙏😭😭😭

Wow, the bases in this choir are so powerful. I love it!
This is the best arrangement of Salvation Is Created in my opinion
So lovely it brought tears to my eyes.Thank you.
Wow! Their soprano section is heavenly ^^
I get hypnotized looking at the conductor, his technique is sooo good!! And Glen Miller.. WOW!!!
I have performed the tenor 1 part in this composition. It was a sublime experience.
Another female tenor who loved singing that tenor 1 part.
@@suzannadannaTARDIS I agree with you . Singing the tenor line of this wonderful.
This makes my heart ache every time I hear it. Beautiful!
Amen!
When u see a piece by chesnokov u know there's gotta be some good basses, and so there are!
So beautiful it made me cry.
That bass alone is worth the price of admission
Best rendering of this amazing piece, I've yet heard.
Well sung. Nice tempo. I love that low bass part.
Beautiful ... thanks.

This is absolutely amazing
Beautiful
wow, awesome.
Bravi!
Now THIS is how it's done
Great harmonics!
The men sound great...
Low D, and that oktavist low B at the midpoint--choral subwoofer!
Heard Glenn Miller before I spotted him XD
Sublime.
The bass 5th from the far left seems to be Dashon Burton. Awesome lyric singer.
Спасибо...
Wow
I would never tell they were not Russians, except Russians would never perform with bare shoulders. This is my favorite version of this masterpiece.
The guy with the receding hairline at 2:50 is Andrew Crane, who once directed the ECU Chamber Singers. I know that guy!
Glenn Miller makes this unique.
Who made that page turn at the end!? :-)
when was this recorded?
You failed at spelling Tschesnokoff.
Chesnokov is actually a much more realistic spelling. Tsch- is completely unescesary, and the V is closer to the consonant than FF.
