My father was a profundo, and he died 4 years before I performed this. Had he still lived, I would have gotten him to sing at the performances, as our director was looking for basses to sing that part.
Paul, he is looking at you from the sky... that's why he "is still alive" in your mind, soul
Yes, my choral group had to recruit more Bass II when we performed any Russian church Slavonic piece.
May God bless his soul.
Quite a profundo he was too, I'll wager.
That is so amazingly beautiful that I can close my eyes and picture this is what music in Heaven sounds like❤️
I had the pleasure of singing this piece a couple of years ago in a choir and it made me weep in rehearsal. I marveled then, “Who hears this in their mind and then writes it down on paper? Well, Rachmaninov…
Exactly!
🎉es maravilloso!!!.
❤
This, to me, shows clear evidence that there is a God.
To be able to compose it, and for others to sing it, and for it to lift my heart and spirit.
It is a true Wonder! This makes me weep also
I was in a choir for several years. This was our 'Party Piece' so to speak. In 2007 we were given the chance to sing at mass in St Peters in Rome. We sang this at Communion. We weren't professional singers, just a hobby choir and wondered how we could be heard in such a vast space. But we were standing beneath Michelangelo's dome and every note we sent out bounced back at us magnified a thousand times by the dome. It was an extraordinary experience, which I will rank as one of the best in my life. Thank you Michelangelo and Rachmaninoff.
Rachmaninoff, you have made the hard times in my life just that little bit more bearable. You’ll never know how much your music pieces together my soul.
I feel the same. I never knew Rachmaninoff write such beautiful choral works ❤❤❤❤❤
Dear brothers in Christ, I don't know if these words of mine will touch you, but the all-merciful Lord and his Mother touched your souls through the Orthodox soul of Rachmaninoff. Even if we don't know each other and if we are separated by miles, I send you love from little Serbia.
Закрываются глаза и текут слёзы и ум останавливается . Понимаешь , что все мы связаны на этой маленькой планете и нет времени и нет смерти.
Sing this at my funeral.
Aint no way ☠️
Jesus fucking christ, Nick
I was thinking the same thing 😂
This breathes the Russian soul, such a wonderful piece of music
Makes my Scottish soul cry.
@@timothycarson5127 - My English soul as well! At least, it did when the Choir of Chichester Cathedral sang "this wonderful piece of music" at our 2021 Christmas Carol service!
Do you know being orthodox means, you want to be religious the way Jesus Himself was teaching us? That is the reason why these ancient texts and melodies are extremely old, and still used today. That is beautiful.
This does not breathe the Russian soul at all. The broad, profound, and introspective Russian soul is a myth. They only worship aggression, death, and hate. Lucky Rachmaninoff cannot see his nation keep destroying the world even 80 years after his death.
It’s not Russian soul, it is Slavic orthodoxy in our bones and marrows
It's so incredibly beautiful when the sound bursts forth in the middle of the peace, like the sun rising over the horizon at dawn...or a soul ascending to Heaven.
I have sung the All Night Vigil 3 times over the past 20 years, probably my favorite choral work. Of course, the 6th hymn is probably the most famous. It is a thrill to sing this a capella. Apparently, during the time Rachmaninoff's choral works were banned, they created a children's song to the tune. When it was first performed again years later, the audience immediately recognized the piece, having never been attributed to the composer.
SPLENDID! Rachmaninov was a genius.
He was a Rach Star.
Indeed!
Just a spell-binding performance all the way. One of the finest I've heard. And just when you think the basses have reached bottom, someone drops to F1. It takes your breath away. Bravo!
'
My soul is flying. This composition is divine.
Благословит Господь тех , кто слышит это пение
Well, thank you!
I always say the most beautiful instrument in the world is the human voice. This proves it. I love Rachmanioff and this just brings tears to the eyes with heart wrenching beauty.
There's something so magical about people singing together.
yes it makes me stronger and makes me to believe in future of mankind.
@@DanicaMilanovic-qh6dh Exactly.
I've seen other videos of this song, some with over a MILLION views, and yet they lack that vital, intricate role of the OKTAVIST as seen here by Yuri Visnyakov. Beautiful
Oh my! That bass (person = Yuri) is amazing! Such a rare sound.
Если такой великолепный композитор Рахманинов, исполнил такие Великие Святые Слова к Богородицы о Благословенном её Плоде, что слушая всё это, слёзы закипают на ресницах, то каков Он Сам, Бог и Творец?!
Если человек сотворенный Богом, в молитве к Богу, создаёт такое неземное искусство.
Bravo , Trof !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The most touching version I've heard,especially the last three low notes,which symbols the spirit of this song.Bravo Rachmanjnoff,this chord,the conductor and Yuri the oktavist,whose unique low bass talent brought us a marvelous memory!
Skppppp 1:20

OMG, THE BASSES!!!!!!!
This choir does the almost impossible - makes us KNOW that their full-voiced, full-volume singing is not an affekt, but the result of heartfelt understanding of the text and impeccable training. A-MEN!
I've listened to several exquisite versions of this, but this version takes the prize for passion! Absolutely wonderful!
They are wonderful. Did you check out the Cambridge Singers' version? You'll like it too.
You need to Check out Haggard's version c:
My favorite rendition of this beautiful piece! Glory to God!
that last note... incredible gift
Many Russian basses have this "gift." Making it sound smooth like a bass fiddle in another issue. And, BTW, like sopranos hitting those I'm possibly high notes clearly and softly, the deep bass rumbles are not available to these gifted singers every day. Nature is just not that generous.
@@dimitri1946 My 50yo Dad is kinda bass, sometimes he goes down to B1 at and of sentences!
Love the emphasis on certain notes and their amazing legato. They keep the sound and tone spinning without any seeming break. Makes me weep.
Великолепие и для души услада. Благодарю.
This is the best, most powerfull song i've ever heard! The notes at the end make it totally perfect!
@@kansashoneybadger7899 Russians don't need instruments or other tools to express their faith and achieve their goals 🤣
@@kansashoneybadger7899 As far as Worship is concerned, Russians do not worship money, lies, deceit and aggression as zealously as they do in the West. That is why the Russian version of worshiping the Lord is so pure and touching. After all, faith from life, as well as words from deeds, are inseparable. I just pray that it will be preserved in the future. And all the best to you
And how about the notes at the start and the notes in between? Omnia party très important. Sorry, you asked for this practical joke. Okay, ending a musical piece is a big deal.
@@482ginger Yeah, the Russian orthodox are all saints. Why didn't they prevent that last war? They have "always" been the victims of violence. When you live in such a miserable time, you can't do anything but pray ten times harder than the rest of the world. This is a very sad tradition, isn't it?
Can you please be proud of Russia without depicting "The West" like you did? Believe me, there are good people in every country. Gospodi pomilui! And some less good people as well. And politics is complicated. These tensions between Russia and the west do not help nobody. And it is not your fault. It is not our fault. What can we do, really? I am Dutch, I live pretty close to Russia. I wish Europe and Russia could finally drop the past and be like good neighbours. Large armies just mean problems, things escalate and you got a war. Better listen to this music instead. And what do I know about it? Well, enough.
@@482ginger Why do they worship weapons and aggression?
В последние секунды я заметила что у меня на лице счастливая улыбка.
Bei so einen Chor ist das Stück überwältigend. Die Augen zu und deine Seele ist glücklich.
Our small St. Sava choir learned to sing this in English years ago. For those of us who don't translate church slavonic ,the English version is spiritually most powerful. To all
have a blessed Pascha season.
do yo have a link?
Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of God! Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Last Sunday was Zacchaeus Sunday. Blessed Lent to you!
Wonderful! We sang this in our Choral society. Thank you .......Our choir stopped singing a year ago because of Covid. I miss it so much.
sang this in high school for all state choir and my bones shiver from the sheer emotions this song delivers!
This is my favorite version. I've found others but none with that pronounced bass at the end.
¡¡¡Impresionante!!! . Fuerza, sentimiento, empaste.. y qué bajos al final. Pelos de punta. 👏👏👏
Of course our main interest in this channel is the profondo, one can't, however, pass without commenting on the incredible music that usually has those low notes. This one is just beautiful!
It's funny, the score doesn't have anything lower than an F2 in it for the basses but ofcourse, as it's russian and there are some VERY low voiced men, this oktavists. My director calls me a "twice baked russian bass" which isn't even close to true, my lowest not a good day is a C#2 lmao. Anyway, went off there for a second but yeah the score only has an F2 in it but sounds even better with the F1 and the score is absolutely gorgeous, Rachmaninoff was an incredible composer.
@@bassmanxan3544 in some transcriptions there is an optional C1 in the second to last measure an octave lower than the C2. When I was in high school we sang it that way as we had some LOW basses. It's a fantastic way to end the piece for sure.
@@mattross9980 Jesus Christ. I'm the lowest bass in choir and without subvocally singing my lowest note on a good day is a C2, though with subvocalizing I can sing off if the piano but it's not resonant at all. I could only hope to have basses like that in my choir 😭
@@bassmanxan3544 we were super lucky. That year it was myself and two others that could consistently go below the staff. We definitely weren't as resonant as we could be either, but all of us together made for a passable sound when we blended with everyone else.
@@mattross9980 cannot relate. Granted, I can go below the staff just not that far lmao
Rachmaninov, sin duda, entre los mejores compositores que ha dado la humanidad. Sus obras, en su totalidad, son sublimes.
Estoy de acuerdo
..stunning performance, Thanks a lot 🔥
Piękne...
I've usually admired Rachmaninov's piano concertos - but his choral output is pulling me in. The harmonies can rip your soul out by the roots and send it spinning heavenwards.
Superb !!!!!!
I read the description as I heard the final few measures. Then I heard the *second*-to-last note, and thought, 'gosh -- that's low -- but he still gets lower??' And I just about laughed out loud when I heard the last note. My gosh! Amazing, and utterly beautiful throughout.
We are going to perform this beautiful music with the Royal Choral society at the Royal Albert Hall on the 7th May. I love this emotional piece
Easily the best performance I've heard of this gorgeous music, particularly poignant at this dreadful time when choirs can't perform properly. Thanks for posting
Дядя Юра красавчик!!! Дай Бог ему здоровья!!!! Прекрасный человек и музыкант!!!
I sobbed after I watched this, it was very moving. Thank you so much
I want to know who and why someone disliked this video. Absolutely gorgeous performance.
Sublime
No matter how many times I watch and listen to this performance, I get shivers at the climax of the middle section. Spiritual, emotional, and technical perfection.
The end hit me like a Mack truck - I was weeping almost instantly when it opened up at the end. So incredibly beautiful. God so greatly blessed Rachmaninoff.
This double low F is phenomenal!
Olyan jó volt újra hallani! Imádtam ezt a darabot énekelni a kórusunkkal. Szinte katartikus élmény volt, mikor teljesen magával ragadott minket ez a hullámzó, gyönyörű harmónia. 🥰
1:13 That part there is beautiful.
Fantastico coro,da brividi,bravi.bravi,bravi.
Wow. This is the only recording I've heard of this piece where I genuinely couldn't contain myself while listening. That was incredible
That F1 is so clear! Amazing!
The simplicity of Rachmaninov's music is so deeply emotional and incredibly moving. Its a simple prayer to the Mother of God
superbly written and performed - exquisitely beautiful. Thank you and bless you for posting.
Sublime. Transcendant.
Богородица пресвятая моли Бога о нас!🙏
Theotokos, Devo, rejoice,
Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you.
Blessed art thou in wives,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb,
As the Saviour hast given birth to our souls.
Madre de Dios, how is this the first time I’ve ever heard this!
One more time I wanna say that there is not only one Y. Vishnyakov as a profundo on video. Next to him singing Petr Safroshkin, such a good profundo. Who knows, maybe only Vishnyakov singing low F on this video, but author of this channel should write about another good oktavists. Oktavism is not only about low E, F, and G, it’s more about timbre and profundity of voice.
sang this several times as part of the bass section. Love it so much I still sing the whole bass part by myself just for pure enjoyment.
BEAUTIFUL, THANKS FOR POSTING. 😊
Absolutely sublime singing...the breath control! Wow.
I wish my choir would have dared to sing songs like this... What a difference that would have been...
1:53 so beautiful it’s kind of terrifying
Богородице, Дево, радуйся,
Благодатная Мария, Господь с тобою.
Благословенна ты в женах,
И благословен плод чрева твоего,
Яко Спаса родила еси душ наших.
Ah this is so beautiful and ethereal!!
Preciosa obra. Con una interpretación magnífica. Es la mejor versión que he escuchado. ¡¡Enhorabuena, bravo!!
Esecuzione favolosa!
As a bassist who just spent 2 years doing online education with plenty of time to my self, I definitely tried to teach myself to do subharmonics. It was really interesting to see this channel appear in my first in-person choir since 2020.
Almost perfect. One of the best
almost?
Браво!!! Великолепное исполнение!!! Чудо!!!
От души спасибо!
A wonderful piece of music perfectly sung
Great and stunningly sacred
Truly stunning
Absolutely beautiful...spectacular harmonies. LOVE! ❤️
Splendide
Ничего лучшего не слышала, браво,!!!
meraviglioso Rachmaninov, e bravissimo questo coro
so beautiful.
Heavenly perfection! Bravo!
Angelic!💯👏👏👏❤❤❤
Great job, Risto!
Magical
Impresionante. La fuerza de la obra y de la cuerda de los bajos. es absoluta.
Beautiful voices in any language.
Sublime.
If there's a heaven...this is it...
Not even close to heaven, my friend
This is the hardest piece we performed supposedly, most difficult I mean, it doesn't sound all that difficult but supposedly all the volume changes (dynamics) with 120-person choir is what makes it difficult
I’ll be having the pleasure of preforming this at my Christmas concert this year and at a mission. I don’t say it to my choir but this piece is a work of genuine art and I marvel at its composition. This is my last year in high school and the beginning of my music career when I cross that stage and begin a barratone then finding my voice at a tenor makes a tear of joy fall as I listen to this piece.
Returning so often to this rendition, I have several observations: (1) the audience is silently enraptured, (2) Risto is, himself, warmly captivated, (3) and Yuri is worshiping...without looking at his score!
Great emotion, the strong and soft voices of the whole world rising to the heavens for the glory of our Mother.
Muchísimas gracias 😅😂
great performance of the choir
Алилуја!💕 Алилуја!💕 Алилуја!
This hits deeeeeeeeeeeepppppppp
Wow....
a miracle
