Considered a pinnacle setting of the Orthodox liturgy, Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil has become an icon of the choral repertoire since its composition in 1915.

Featuring some of the composer's most evocative choral writing, this moving 70-minute a cappella work paints an expansive panorama capturing the depths of human devotion and the soaring heights of its expression.

Rachmaninoff was one of the last great Romantic composers of Russian classical music, and this is widely considered one of his finest compositions, if not his finest. He asked that the fifth movement be performed at his funeral.
