Beautifully sung by one of my favorite large choruses. John Alexander gets it right every time.

I got a chance to sing this piece with John Alexander in Estonia and Russia with Pacific Chorale. Singing this in Smolny Cathedral in St. Petersburg was unreal...easy 5 second decay in the acoustics.

This masterpiece has inspired me to write a war film script based on Stalingrad. One of Rachmaninovs truly greatest
