The Cherubim Hymn (Херувимы гимн) No. 7 by Dmitry Bortniansky (1751-1825) performed by the USSR Russian Academic Capella under A. A. Yurlov. Zlatopolsky in the bass section, down to contra A.
I had the pleasure of singing this as a 1st tenor in H.S. and without question was ALMOST identical in every way except for the outstanding bass with this choir. I have listened to MANY versions of Cherubic Hymn No. 7... and THIS version is BY FAR the best... and MOST moving.
Unfortunately, I don't think Bortniansky indicated all the unnatural crescendos and decrescendos exhibited here.
please define "unnatural" in this context... I have kept all my vocal music scores from my choir... I will have to search for it to see if the crescendos and decrescendos were included in the arrangement.
Perhaps I am being somewhat picky. I have the score from 2 different sources. they are similar, but not identical. The music from St Vladimir's Seminary is pretty faithful to the original scores. The dynamics of the first half range from piano to pianissimo, with slight crescendos. The second half certainly contains parts that are double forte, but nothing in the first half would call for double forte. Also, there are no ritard markings in the second half. Lastly, I am an Orthodox choir director, so my experiences singing this hymn are in a liturgical context, i.e. the music serves the text. btw, I too have heard many many recordings of this. Everybody has their own tastes; I have heard some I consider better, and some worse.
Not only are their differences with the interpretation of dynamics but the tempo as well... some with a faster tempo, others even slower than this...as it's all up to the director. I am not as accomplished as you, however, I was the student director both in H.S. also in college... What do you think about the outstanding bass in this rendition? some may suggest it is too prodomanant.. which is normally the case with sopranos in most choirs.. it is a challenge to get a full balance in a live performance...but easlily corrected in studio via the mixing board.
Good voices and excellent blend of the high and low notes - Sounds angelic and ascension into heaven
Where?
The best bass in the WORLD ! Bravo !
Absolutely! You are so right!
Dieses Meisterstück von Dimitry Bortniansky kann ich nicht oft genug anhören. Diese Interpretation begeistert mich immer wieder. Es gibt keine bessere. Danke für diese Klänge, sie gehen direkt in die Seele des Hörers. Bravo für die Sänger/innen.
Дух захватывает Браво. Браво .БРАВО 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
simply beautiful
It all makes me so proud of my Byzantine-Mediterranean roots...."Let us now stand boldly with the Cherubim as they sing their anthems of joy and praise as their Master and King arrives in glory unseen by human eyes, for behold He comes in triumph!
As we behold Him, let us put aside all earthly worries and cares as we sing Halleluiah! Holy, Holy, Holy Lord! God of Power and might, The Cosmos is truly filled with His Glory! Hosanna in the Highest! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
Très belle interprétation.Quelle émotion musicale, nous avons ce chant au programme de notre ''Choeur d'hommes de Nancy", et à chaque concert, c'est l'émotion partagée par nous et notre public.
Youth sentiment for me. I have sung this in the Royal Zutphens Men Choir. Beautiful.
Dios.... Demasiado hermoso!!!
Soy de la misma opinión.
Glorious...praise God!
Heartbreaking to hear this beautiful chant is no commonplace. Very sad.
Have heard that there is a school of Byzantine music somewhere in London,.
But this is a masterpiece of music and singing, heavenly.
It surely represents the due praise we should render to God.
❤️☦️💖🙏💙💖🌹
Это идеальное, каноническое исполнение! Увы, больше никто так не смог.
Божественно!
Pięknie aż chce się do nieba.
Heureuse de pouvoir chanté ce genre de chant!
Que c'est beau. Merci. Il faut faire écouter cette musique, pour la paix, la sérénité.
Oh yes! This is real music and Mikhail is just fantastic. Please K if you have anymore share it??
I have shared most of the material with Zlatopolsky that I have since much of it is difficult to obtain these days. There are still some Melodiya LPs floating around out there that we need to snag somehow.
Hi again. Yes I found a lot more of your latest downloads. It is just a pity one cannot buy this stuff anymore. I would love to hear pristine versions of this music with Mosha singing of course! Thanks for your scrupulous efforts. B
VERY NICE.
Beautiful.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God... Invaluable song. Lol
When I was a kid, we sang it in Greek. Now, 50 odd years later, the choir director at my church not only has never heard of it but refuses to do Slavonic things, although we rarely do the minor arpeggio one. Go figure. Another choir I sing in does it in English, but only once a year.
Times have changed, not for the better. 🇬🇷❤️☦️
Born in Imperial Russia or Imperial Ukraine it is the same for hundreds of years. Unfortunately idiotic politicians trying to separate the country and the people.
Typical Russian answer - give credit to those who were enslaved
Obviously you find it hard to articulate without resorting to name calling... may I suggest you read up some pre-communist history... preferably unadulterated books which are kept in our old English universities... Йди з Богом.
Йди з Богом.
No such country - 'Imperial Ukraine'. Rus-Rusiya-Russia was the country since very beginning till nowadays.
@@yevvgor Русь was not Россия ... as I understand it ... the Русь you are mistakenly quoting is Киевская Русь....Muscovite Rus was formed about 1200... some time after Киевская Русь.... is suppose by your logic Беларусь is also Russian ... ooops sorry Catherine II conquered Беларусь in 1795 but we can rewrite history as per Stalin... I suppose the HOLODOMOR did not exist? either???? Oh yeah western world agrees it did... Having said all this Constantinople recognises Киевская Русь as Ukrainian (work it out from the latest Tomos which is typically been argued by Kirill of Moscow) ... Anyway Ukraine is Ukraine and independent even though the Russians are trying to invade it (U.N. sources).
😍😍😍
The choirs in the Soviet era were the best. Just an observation. Perhaps they relished the religious aspect?
My little church choir is singing an arrangement of this on 5/1.
I have sung No. 7 many times under different conductors... at times this choir sounds angry...especially at the beginning of the (for want of a better word) first movement... out of character from the meaning of the words.... as Maestro Jaroslaw Babuniak said... (translated from Ukrainian) Never shout at God... Also the last syllable in alleluja (last word) was accented ... the accent should be on the lu... I think tUSSR Russian Academic Capella was getting over enthusiastic which belies their talent.
Connu aussi sous le titre "Ige Herouvimy", me semble-t-il...
Sorry, but is not a concert piece and should not be sung like one, amazing talent notwithstanding.
Это замечательное произведение прекрасно звучит как в камерном исполнении в церкви, так и в концертном.
